Ha ha , everybody loves to Hate Microsoft; just as well Apple and Google have a good PR dept! MS , Google, Apple are all as bad as one another; everything is profit driven, no hang on I forgot Google and Apple are ethnically and morally the blueprint for a corporate company ha ha!
A few years back who would have said Sony would be in the position they are now, and the Kinect over doing the WII! Next OS released by MS I think will be a big surprise to the smart phone community, give it 1-2 years MS will be up there competing for market share, and as a consumer I hope they do -- choice is good and competiton drives inovation!
For now I will stick to an Android/IPhone but I definetly would not rule out MS!
You cannot denie hub-centric system is a smart intuitive piece of architecture!It is the Direction to go!
