Late-to-market and the "Netscape" factor all over again has a lot to do with it, too.
Oh.it's a solid platform - just like Zune and the Kin was.

The reason WP7 doesn't have more marketshare has less to do with its design than with the fact that marketing for it stinks. Nobody has heard of it. I suspect that with some of the new phones coming out (e.g., the Lumia 900), that will change. I'm not saying WP7 is for everyone. But it's absolutely a solid platform, it's easy to use, and it's refreshingly different from iOS and Android.
