No. the reason Windows Phone is not dominant is because it came too late to the party, and offers no real advantage over iOS or Android. Both Microsoft and Nokia made the fatal mistake of announcing the death of their old mobile operating systems way before they had shipping WP devices.
In the meantime, everyone I know working in enterprise transitioned to Android and iPhone (except some on BlackBerry) - this happened as soon as those platforms had working Exchange sync, encrypted storage and remote management. To get any significant market share Microsoft now has to pay their way to it with extreme subsidies and massive marketing, or wait for Apple and Google to stumble, something they have yet to do.
