Microsoft flamed out of the mobile OS space precisely because they insisted that Windows not fork, but be identical software running on all devices.
So now, there is no such thing as a windows phone, but every time I wake up my computer I see a vestigial lock screen that I have to dismiss before I log in.
They designed their phones like a company entitled to 85% of the market share. Something tells me they're not going to reform just to capture that mobile game space.
What does the login screen have to do with mobile? They've had them since at least Windows 95 (I forget if 3.1 had one), and they've been evolving every release.
If you mean the screen before the login, that's been around since at least Windows 95 too, though it didn't used to be default and required you to press Ctrl+alt+del to dismiss (which before win95 would reboot your computer)
