Agreed. As noted earlier, they need to kick this into overdrive.Responding to the OP,
MS needs to play on its strengths: Security, native app development (for developers) and the overall ease of use in the OS.
I have started to see some adds. Hopefully that will pick up.Instead what it is doing is focusing on making people aware of how "You" centric it is. All phones do that. What different are you doing?
Like it or not, I think it boils down to advertising. Now by that I don't mean just commercials. I mean word-a-mouth too.
This was one of the reasons I started looking elsewhere from Android. RIM is pushing that angle hard for Blackberry 10 to capture market share in government agencies, businesses, etc. They have traditionally done well in this area but you are correct in that MS should be beating that drum loud and consistently as well.It has by far the best OS security I have seen (or liked) on any platform. Show me one person who doesn't like a secured device. I have to go through heaps and heaps of pages from one forum to another to know how amazingly secured the OS is. MS needs to tell people about that. FB isn't everyone's reason to pick a WP8. Security definitely is.
Ease of use: The OS is so simple, it takes just 1 day to understand it throughout. Why? Cause it is designed in such a way that it responds to you in the SAME way everywhere.
People need to be told about all this. See how it becomes an instant hit.
There is no written formula to be successful anywhere. Markets change, people change, times change.
Innovation is what people are looking for. Simplicity in this life is now a rarity. And that's exactly what MS has. In abundance.

Simplicity is good provided it also gives people the functionality that they are looking for, particularly if they are coming from an Android based device. MS is getting there in this area in my view but still have a ways to go.
