When I had X360, I decided to also buy a Nokia WP (mostly because of one account, games with achievements and so on).
That was the worst decision I've made, and 6 months later I swapped it for an Android phone (Sony Xperia, but it has nothing to do with console wars, it simply was the best buy phone then, and I wasn't even close to considering PS console at the time).

WP at the time (and I don't think it changed much) had a miserable app support, especially in Europe. Banks don't offer WP banking apps, no parking apps, no apps to buy movie tickets, no apps for...basically anything. It was a revelation to have an Android and dozens of useful apps for everyday life at my fingertips.
And to make things even worse, apps that are absolutely free on Android, WP charges money for (like Fruit Ninja and other games).
And the fugly interface and app design certainly didn't help. It was a colossal waste of my time and money.
Right now, only WP phones here are free ones, and nobody wants them as they are completely useless (well, I guess you can still use them to make phonecalls).

No experience with other MS hardware, but from everything I have read and heard from people, they are the worst deal you can get (usually both overpriced and underpowered like Surface - there arevdozens of better tablets and very few that cost more)
