Microsoft's strategies slowly but surely paying off

[crash1989]

For once I would like to post something positive in the forums.

Windows Phone as we know has been growing 6 times the pace of mobile market and is gaining market share worldwide (not in US).

Emerging markets now have Lumia 520 as the device to beat at its price range.

Good news is coming out of the Bing camp. We knew Siri was using Bing, so does Twitter for translation and I got to know Yahoo uses it for its backend.

We see Bing growing steadily as reported here. So I think Microsoft's strategies are surely paying off.

Windows Phone is increasing market share in Europe too. If I'm not mistaken, I believe it has really taken off in Italy.

You mean double-digit marketshare?
In Q1 2013, I think it hit 15%.

FY2014 has to be very big for both users and developers. The should merge Win 8 and Win Phone 8 as much as they can.

Good to see Bing growing
