IDC made a bold prediction Tuesday, forecasting that Windows Phone will surge ahead to become the No. 2 smartphone operating system by 2015 behind Android in the top spot.

That forecast would push Apple's iPhone to third position, followed by BlackBerry in fourth in 2015, the market research firm said.

Windows Phone will grow, IDC said, because of the alliance forged between the world's largest mobile phone maker, Nokia, and software powerhouse Microsoft.
