non-PC devices

Given the price, bloat, and the proprietary character of Microsoft's mobile OS, one would think they would be interested in creating their own version of Linux, to fill this niche. If, and I say this with a grain of salt, they are the great innovators they claim to be this would be a small task. Looking at the number of Linux Distros out it is obvious it is not difficult to make your own.
This way they could force manufacturers to install Microsoft software on every computer built, Oh wait, they already do that. Mobile devices look to be the next generation's preference, so I think it would be a logical step for them to "get on the Linux bandwagon".
