Forgive me for the childish post title, by now you should know that I’m more Windows fan than iPhone fan (though that might change next week).
Microsoft’s head of mobile communications posted a letter online this morning that highlights an important sales milestone for the Windows Mobile platform: 20 million licenses in one fiscal year.
It’s now my honor and privilege to announce a milestone that our partnership has accomplished. This fiscal year we will sell nearly 20 million Windows Mobile smartphone licenses, making Windows Mobile one of the most widely used smartphone software platforms in the world. We also sold more in the previous four quarters than RIM, and in the last quarter our year-over-year unit growth alone was greater than sales of Apple’s iPhone.
Congratulations Microsoft. Now get back to work and fix the things I hate in Windows Mobile.

1That’s like Honda sticking its tongue out at Ferrari and screaming about its amazing sales numbers. Yeah, it’s true, but how in the world does any sane person even compare the two? One manufacturer that’s been on the market for less than two years versus multitude of manufacturers using a decade old platform that’s seen its share of troubles. The fact that Microsoft finds it necessary to comment about its sales in relation to Apple says that someone is more afraid that they let on.
