This ismy opinion and, of course, it is different from yours... :) But, the subject is very interesting! Thank you.

Don't you remember how Windows XP was introduced in August 2001 as the most "Secure" and "Reliable" operating system? How many Windows XPupdates and patcheswere released? Thousands!

Don't you remember Bill Gates' presentations about a media house solutions about 3 or 4 years ago?

Microsoft was very busy withWindows Vista, a "disaster" for Microsoftas soon as it was released, and after
that with a "recovery" project Windows 7.

But, at the same time Apple, Google, etcwere working in a different direction, that is Tablets, and Microsoft
lost a battle.

Also, Microsoft lost a battleover Mobile Platforms andSmartphones.

Here issome statistics about number of applications developed for the most popularMobile Platforms.
Sorry, I don'trememberall numbersexactly:

Android - more than 300,000 applications developed
iOS - more than 200,000 applications developed
BlackBerry - more than 20,000 applications developed
Windows Mobile\ Phone 7- more than 5,000 applications developed

And, let's addthatMicrosoft lost a battle over Internet Search engines.

I thinksome keys to success could be as follows:

"Go-Smaller", "Go-Green","Go-Portable", "Go-Mobile", "Go-Energy-Efficient".

A message to Intel: Please Don't Repeat Microsoft's mistakes!

Best regards,
Sergey

yes intel will come its the best computer manufactiring company in the world

Hello Intel is one of the best producers of the microprocessors in the semiconductors industry. Due this this new branch of smartphone hardware Intel has launched a processor for smartphones which is the Intel Atom Z24601.6Ghz processor which even has hyper-threading. Though a single core processor it is just the beginning step in this market. So from the Intel inside computers we are going to have Intel inside smartphones.

Windows is very complex OS with millions of line of code.So it is very hard to write 100% secure code.There is always a posibility of programming errors which can be exploted by the skilled researcher/hacker.

Yes, I Totally agree with you.. Intel is extremely put to advantage from the increase of the data center and the develop out of cloud computing.

@Shadab, One of the most important things to consider is the possibility of reusing the experience that most developers around the world have in the x86 platform in multiple devices. It is simpler to create excellent applications when you know the hardware in which they are being executed. :)

It is interesting that Nokia is not on the list...

Thanks for providing the SEO Tips.it's such a helpful information

AT&T forced me to take a new RIM 3 months ago, saying they would no longer support 2G as required by the older one. Unsurprisingly, the new one has to switch between 2G and 3G frequently. With its faulty charging jack, inabiity to filter spam, many hour delays for voice and email messages, and lack of compatibility with de facto browser standards, it's definitely an incentive to switch to almost anything else. At the time AT&T were promoting Windows 7 phones, but those (like Android) required signing a fresh contract, not such a palatable choice for anyone.
The very few press articles seem to agree that it's late for an Intel Android phone market entry in additional countries, though I'd certainly like to try pulling the SIM card from the RIM even if AT&T support remains as poor as it is for RIM.

Quoting TimP (Intel) 1. ...the new one has to switch between 2G and 3G frequently...
2. ...faulty charging jack...
3....inabiity to filter spam...
4. ...many hour delays for voice and email messages...
5. ...lack of compatibility with de facto browser standards...

It's impressive.

This is a short follow up...
