Windows Galaxy?

Rumors are abound that the Samsung Galaxy S series will have a counterpart with Windows Phone 7 preloaded rather than Android.  If this true, Samsung is walking down quite the slippery path.  By expanding into Windows Phone 7, they are finding a new opportunity for expansion, but at the same time, they're having their own product compete against itself.  With the Samsung Galaxy S2 hitting 3 million sales, half of which was domestic in Korea, they've taken over quite the market.  Releasing a variant of the Galaxy that has Windows Phone 7 may harm their way towards global market domination.

In addition, Windows Phone 7 market share is on the decline already, and one has to wonder if it's worth it for Samsung to even try aiming at this already dying market.  While the operating system is innovative, sleek and clean, it's a few years too late into the market.  Samsung could shine in Microsoft's eyes if they can grab a market share, but at the same time, they could just be blowing money away.
