one of my favorite windows phone facts is for years people had screamed that iphones were only popular because of marketing so microsoft went on an unprecedented advertising and product placement blitz, spending at least 5 billion dollars and still got nowhere

I think people watching old tv shows 20 years from now might think windows phone is a fake made for tv os
