Ecosystem is exactly what's hurting Windows Phone 8.

The OS itself is quite good these days.  I suspect anyone would be quite impressed with the Nokia Lumia 1020 phone, though it's a real hard sell to people already entrenched in the Android and iPhone ecosystems despite the fact it's a really good phone.

Windows Phone now has more market share in Latin America than the iPhone - second only to Android, according to IDC.

They have done everything they can to try and make it a success - and still nobody gives a crap.

They can keep banging their head against the wall indefinitely, but that's not going to make people want a Windows Phone.

7 million people *did* give a crap about it, John.  In one quarter that's how many W8 handsets were sold.
