Why Hasn't Windows 7 Taken Off?
That is the question that was posted over on OS News today. They refer to a post written by the former Windows Phone 7 General Manger, Charlie Kindel.

Taming Twins: Zachary Comes Into His Own
Since they were born Adam has always been first. He jibber-jabbered first, he played with toys first, he sat up first, he held his bottle first, and he ate cereal and baby food first.
