I've seen this even among (otherwise) loyal Microsoft employees. When I remarked on a friend's iPhone he rolled his eyes and said "I've spent literally thousands of dollars on Windows Mobile Phones. I wanted to like them. They were all shit. All of them."
I'm intrigued by Windows Phone 7. I keep hearing it's great, but "Windows Mobile" and "Windows Phone" have so much negative brand affinity, I have a hard time seeing who will buy them. XBox fans, maybe?
