Do they expect it to sell or should we believe the horsecrap that they just want to make a reference device for other OEMs to take note of?

Seems pretty clear. They have stated their position regarding the smartphone market that they have no intention of pursuing smartphones as a standalone business and instead see them as a part of their Windows 10 ecosystem story. Marketshare is not their goal rather putting devices out there for consumers who want them and to push to enterprise. Their minimal push to US carriers seems to bear this out.

They pretty much are, unfortunately.So we're saying windows phones are nothing more than hobbyists devices now essentially?

So how do they define the success of these new devices?

When will we see some kind of "marketing" aimed at the enterprise space then? There going to be some kind of sales pitch coming from CDW, Insight, etc? I don't see it yet...
"What is Microsoft's true intention with the 950?"
To make money.
At the level Windows Phones sell at I'm not sure they make money on these phones. Reference previous earning reports.
Rather say, "To advance the platform."
So much speculation here. These phones are meant to compete with Samsung, HTC and others. Windows 10 brings in a lot of new features and improvements with new hardware that matches their competitors. I don't think microsoft expects to sell 10s of millions but saying these are nothing more than hobbyist items and saying they are not meant to compete is not only false but shortsighted in my opinion.
These aren't the 1020 which was a. Enthusiast item. These are amazing flagships.
