Microsoft has little choice but to be patient and keep pushing. If they fail in mobile, their business business will eventually leave them. Their consumer computing business is already deteriorating. They must soldier on. The cost of failing is too high.
I think OnSwipe on my iPad is an awful experience. I would do away with it wherever I see it, if I could. I am sorry the developers' feelings may be hurt but a bad UI/UX is bad regardless of the effort.
