At the time, I had high-minded ideals of what a mobile operating system should be like, but the decision came down to just a few key philosophies. At the time, they were design, integration, simplicity and devices. For the most part, I've never second guessed the decision to go with Windows Phone. but now i think i will be widening my mind and taking decision.

My wish.

It wasn't long ago that our office has Windows Mobile apps we had finished. It was rather a shock as MSFT ejected all WinMo of the day to wipe out all prior works and move to Windows Phone 7.

I guess if you felt that was a good move you would repeat that with Windows Phone 7. What do I mean? Read

And this continues today.

My wish is more a hope that MSFT stop treating each release as disposable work as we no longer develop for the Microsoft phones. Among the reasons are the 30% cut they want on apps.

-> Why does this model fails for us?

Our office sells this app to a company for a fixed price. The company buys the right to use the app company wide and since you can't install apps except from the store, we can't go near this phone.
