The Microsoft build could also have some of those limitations that are mildly worrying like no multitasking (seems logical given the Zune HD doesn\u2019t support it).<\/p>\n<p>Would Microsoft doing what Google have done be suicide for the platform, or could it boost sales of their much improved mobile OS?
