No, I got that. What I don't get is how that misconception got started (within media/salesforce), other than making judgments without ever picking up the product...assuming it is similar to previous MS offerings. In reality I don't think the old WM was any tougher to use, configure, etc, than today's Android and those ae selling like hotcakes. Personally I always thought PPC/WM was pretty easy to understand if you had ever used a Windows PC. (Start, programs, shortcuts, folders, files, control panel) Granted, not many folks had experience with one of those 
Agree, it's a fault of marketing, education, but I'm sure there are high level discussions on who should do this. To me its obvious that MS should, because who else will? Motorola, Samsung, etc, and the carriers are busy plugging the hell out of Android. Apple of course pushes Apple, and gets support from carriers. Who is going to sing the praises of WP but MS? In a large part though they seem to be stuck with the same philosophy that they aren't selling this to consumers, OEMs and carriers are, so.....
The fish, it never cackles bout
it's million eggs or so,
the hen is quite a different bird,
one egg-and hear her crow.
The fish we spurn, but crown the hen, which leads me to surmise:
Don't hide your light, but blow your horn it pays to advertise.
