This is not a full windows 8 platform but will work new surface tablet and Samsung and others plan to use this OS which is not fully windows 8 compatible. It would be very helpful if sonos would support this as the tablet looks promising.

      According to ZDNet, 9.9 million Lumia Phones were sold in the third quarter.  5.5 million macs were sold during the same time frame.

      Also, The "Mac installed base is roughly the same size as the Lumia installed base today."

      Yet OSX is supported and Windows Phone isn't.

      Wow. That really says it all. I keep coming back here hoping for some good news. Sadly there never is. Are there really more wearable customers out there than WP users? Hideously disappointed.

      Hey Sonos, how many Millions do Apple and Google give you to make sure you don't provide a Windows Phone app and you don't add Xbox Music as a streaming service? So many more Windows Phones than Mac computers sold and what you do is to support OSX but not Windows Phone. It's just ridiculous and very disappointing!

      Yeah this Sonos giving Microsoft users the finger. Telling that they do not need or want our business. So I'll be canceling my plans to expand my existing system. I was just waiting for an app for my Windows Phone and/or my Surface tablet, to add another 7 unit. I will also be pulling the Sonos equipment I already have installed and selling it on eBay.

      This is just an insult.

      Think we need to be careful. If the people asking for an app sell all their kit there will be even less need for Sonos to make an app...

      When was the last time we hear from Sonos on this?

      Willing to buy Sonos but already disappointed before buying. No windows app and the answer of the customer service is : "we cannot tell anything on future products. It is under consideration". Reading this forum it is already under consideration for 2 years. I don't need such long consideration: i won't buy Sonos. That's just clear.

      Come on Sonos - we're all still waiting for a proper Windows App, along with support for Xbox Music.  At very least please give us an update on the situation!

      Felt slightly insulted this morning when I received your "refer a friend" email - which one of my many Windows Phone friends/family members do you think would be interested in Sonos, given that you don't even have an official Windows Store app?

      It is simple ... no Sonos for my house until there is a Windows phone app.  I'd love to fill my house with Sonos but if we can't control it from our phones then no Sonos.  And from what I'm reading, sounds like Sonos customer support is brutally bad.  Two years and they still can't make a decision one way or another?!  Two years of considering?!  Two years with no update?!  Wow.
