Bookmark and Share
Microsoft has had to do phone sales decline of its Windows 7 operating system for mobile phones quickly since its launch last year. Consumers and business users who once expressed interest in the platform are giving little or attention. So far, Microsoft has done nothing to stop the losses.

Of course, Microsoft believes that things will change in the long term. The company has signed an agreement with Nokia Phone to see Windows become the "principal" of the manufacturer's products online operating system. Phone Windows 7 "Mango", a major upgrade of the platform is expected to leave soon.

But none of these things will matter. Windows 7 Phone is dead. And the more time Microsoft allows your operating system to drift in the stores, the worst for the software giant.

Read on to find out why Microsoft's mobile operating system is a loser

1. Sales are plummeting

If a metric can be used to determine the health of a platform, which is sales. And when it comes to cell Windows 7, the OS seems to be the life support. According to a recent report by research firm ComScore, market share of Windows 7 phone has been reduced by 38 percent. Over the next few quarters, only expected to drop even more, according to market analysts. Microsoft believes it can change things, but to better understand the mobile space we know is not the case.

2. Mango is taking too long

Phone Windows 7 "Mango" will offer several enhancements to the operating system, including the full web browsing and multitasking better. However, the update has taken too long to arrive, and consumers who previously had been waiting to go elsewhere. Microsoft might have wanted to put your operating system on the market last year, but now it is clear that the decision would have been smart to wait for Windows 7 Phone was ready. Until the launch of Mango, who is not prepared to compete in the disputed area.

3. Consumers do not care

As evidenced by market share data from comScore, consumers do not seem to care at all by phone from Windows 7. People around the world are content to buy or IOS-based Android, and let Windows Phone products in stores. If consumers do not care now, how can they expect Microsoft to ever to change things?

4. Nokia does not matter

Some people say that Microsoft's decision to sign an agreement with Nokia for Windows 7 Phone become a wireless service provider will be the operating system is a good idea. However, the inspection also reveals that no matter when things are said and done. Nokia is losing its appeal to consumers and business users. When combined with Windows 7, an operating system that many customers have been through, what makes you think that will change? Nokia is in its final stage as a power in the mobile market and will not help Microsoft.
5. Business users look elsewhere

Microsoft has always believed that the business is critical to your business. It would be hard to argue with that point. But in the mobile market, companies will be running away as IT managers look elsewhere for products. RIM's BlackBerry remains popular, and even the iPhone 4 is starting to make inroads. Windows 7 Phone, by contrast, is being ignored. That does not bode well for their future.

6. It will run on the tables

Microsoft is making a decision is somewhat surprising that Windows 8 operating system from the leader in tablets. Microsoft believes its advanced functionality will help you win other competitors, such as Android or IOS. But it is wrong. Phone Windows 7 would be a lot more sense in one tablet. Too bad Microsoft does not see it that way.

7. The hardware is below par

Looking around the phone Windows 7 ecosystem, it is clear that Microsoft is at a disadvantage when it comes to hardware. Providers of products without the same level of sophisticated design and style as the iPhone 4 ha. Even some devices, such as Android Samsung S Galaxy II, far from being an easy victory Phone with Windows 7. Perhaps the time has come for Microsoft to get into the hardware space to try to change that. But based on its history, the chances of that happening appear slim.

8. Not understanding customers today

Microsoft does not seem to understand what our customers really want in their mobile products. As mentioned, the company is controlling the hardware design process, which is hurting its consumer appeal. The operating system, with its tile design, does not fall in line with what consumers have come to other platforms. Worst of all, the delay of Microsoft to provide an updated operating system seems to indicate that the company realizes that people want well-rounded product sooner rather than later. At this point, it seems that Microsoft does not understand today's mobile customers.

9. Which is not to be part of the open source community

It may be anathema to Microsoft, but welcome to the open source community on your phone could help save half your operating system. After all, Android has been made in the back of the open source technology. Mozilla is planning to do the same with your next mobile operating system. However, Microsoft believes it is closed is your ticket to the future. That is wrong. And things get worse because of it.

10. Microsoft's reputation is slipping

In the technology industry, Microsoft has always been respected. But last year, the company has continued to suffer from phone with Windows 7 themes, his reputation has fallen. The owners of the devices have been frustrated with their upgrade process. Some users have become dissatisfied with the operating system, as it is expected an experience that is more similar to the IOS or Android. This has led Microsoft's reputation is movable slide. Unless something dramatic happens in the coming months, the software giant might never return to its previous level of respect among its mobile customers.
