Microsoft Aims to Come Back fighting
"In 2002, Microsoft set out to conquer the smartphone. But three years on, Symbian software is still the operating system of choice for business smartphones. Canalys, the market researcher, estimates that 77 per cent of smartphones sold in the third quarter were Symbian-powered; Microsoft�s share was a distant 18 per cent. But now Microsoft is giving it another go. In May, the company announced Windows Mobile 5.0, aimed at clawing market share away from Symbian."
I think they will achieve this by virtue of the fact that Windows Mobile will integrate well in the enterprise environment. In addition since most people in the office are sitting in front of a Windows based PC they would probably feel more comfortable using a phone, or other mobile device, with the same interface and tools.
