With Microsoft's (NASDAQ: MSFT ) acquisition of Nokia's phone operations finally set to close after months of legal wrangling, the software giant and device manufacturer is looking to steal some serious market share away from Google's (NASDAQ: GOOG ) (NASDAQ:GOOGL ) dominant Android.
Windows Phone, while popular in some markets, has stalled in others, and Microsoft needs its struggling phone OS to hit a critical mass of users before manufacturers and developers adopt the platform en masse. The Nokia deal should help the cause, but there are other reasons to believe that Windows Phone has a real chance at eventually becoming a profitable business for Microsoft.
