Wish it was true, but it is not. This isn't authoritative, but you get the

Some of my colleagues went to a presentation recently, between iPhone OS / 
Android / Windows 7. This market segment is being fought over, and 
Microsoft is still competing strongly. The recent lawsuits against Google 
are an indication that this will be a hot topic, with mobile devices the 
driving factor.
