Tough old slog ahead for the OS despite Nokia support.
New stats from market watch Kantar Worldpanel ComTech suggest that the Microsoft OS is still struggling for mindshare among the world's smartphone consumers.
Nowhere does it have more than two per cent, and the Nokia Lumia 800 finished quarter four just outside of the top ten smartphones sold in the UK.
Elsewhere the data says Android retained the global smartphone crown, but that Apple is now growing at a faster rate
In the latest 12 weeks of sales, Android had the biggest share in most countries and even went past 60 per cent in Germany.
Apple did best in the US, where its share was at 44.9 per cent while Android took 44.8 per cent. iPhone 4S also helped Apple increase its share of the British smartphone market from 22 per cent a year ago to 34 per cent.
