No..it just sounds like your logic fails.
The writer of this editorial says that MSFT should have a communication method similar to BBM. Many suggest WLM. Problem is, and as much as you don't want to admit it, the US is one of RIMs largest markets, if not the single largest. So MSFT should push WLM on their phones when the wp7 install base is next to nothing? Why would anyone switch to WLM as an alternative to texting when none of their friends/colleagues have a wp7 device to take advantage of it. It makes infinitely more sense to jump onto an already established platform like Kik out of the gate (in wp7s infancy). Maybe in some years, WLM could be the defacto method, but being able to message the one person I know that has a wp7 device vs all the I know with wp7, Android, and iOS is a no brainer, kik wins.

yeah, and as far as that 240 million, how much of that user base is in the US? as i said before, they have a huge WORLD presense, but in the US, WLM as i said, doesn't have a huge presence.

what sense does it make to make a big push into something like windows live messenger, when to be honest, usage statistics, especially in the US, are not on their side.

Yes lots of people worldwide use WLM, but the idea to compare it to BBM is stupid. the reason that BBM was so damn successful is that it has a HUGE install base. Trying to get something like WLM to compete w/ BBM is just stupid. It'd make more sense to bring on a real messenger like Kik which is coming this fall. Why do you think Kik was experiencing problems with RIM (rim blocking their app from updating in real time)? It's the biggest threat to BBM that RIM has ever faced. It makes more sense to support something (Kik) that is completely platform agnostic (Android, WP7, iOS)

seriously, what the hell are you bitching about. do you not understand that a lot of these products that are being ported to wp7, are...being PORTED. they're coming from other platforms like, you guessed it, android or APPLES iOS.

why are people wasting their time making "concept" task switching UIs, when the official task switching has been demoed for 2 months now? this is the definition of retarded. It'd be like some artist making their "concept 2011 chevy volt" when its already on sale.

i really really hope the rumors about the socket support, and camera api are true. Those are seriously the two APIs that i want most (chat apps, skype, layar [meh], and real barcode scanning [would be a good update to the amazon app] )
