Yup, right now being able to move your iOS app easily to WinPhone would be in Microsoft's favour.

OTOH, being able to easily move your WP7 app to Android or iOS is a disaster for MS. The only portability that interests Microsoft is one-way towards their platforms.

Well, yes. Once WP7 has a larger market share than Android and iOS they'll want to plug that gap.

That should happen about fifteen minutes after never.

Yes, but MS are behind in the smartphone race and they know it. Right now they'll do anything they can to get more devs on their platform.
