I have no problem with what microsoft has done. From a business standpoint this had to be done. I'm not sure how everything will play out as far as games,apps and developers but im hoping microsoft has them already lined up. From what i've seen, the os isn't innovative and it borrows heavily from other os". Those who like/dislike the os all have valid points. Having zune or xbox live intergration wont really do much for those who dont own/like zune interfaces. I'm sure microsoft will do well when compared to their last couple of years but thinking it will become number one again doesnt make much sense.How can you say that and it isnt even out yet. Although i dont like fanboy comments at least they do defend os' that are out. If i walked into a store(being a non informed consumer) and saw one of these phones next to others then maybe it has a fighting chance of being purchased. but if i asked for help or did research on a windows phone device...nothing would set it apart.. Its web browser isnt the best, zune cant compete itunes, the apps arent anywhere near the quantity of any of the other os'(its zero by the way) it has live tiles/widgets whatever you want to call them but so does blur/sense/webos/android...everyone. Actually webos does it the best and it ties in your facebook,yahoo aim and so on info. Microsoft is singing integration but they had htc doing it for them,motorola has it in blur and palm already has it done the best because everything can be worked with notications and multi-tasking combined...no one else does this. Im sure its not hard to get to where you want on the device but swiping up and down through a list of tiles takes much longer than swiping left or right(apple,android) and selecting an app. Webos also has them beat, you have the gesture area that can bring up whatever no mater what...no leaving anything to go back to the home screen,no swiping/bringing up lists/tiles/rows no button presses..nothing. I can already post something on facebook and have it pop up on a friends calendar in webos,same with yahoo. I know it sounds like im bashing microsoft, trust me im really not.. Their new os is great for them it just doesnt stand out when compared to other os', nothing is new or hasnt been done before. All they did is copy and make it their own. Being able to have a unique windows device is what kept them afloat(touchflo,sense,mobile shell) now they just kinda turned their back on those values and became followers. By the way, notice i said this is "from what i've seen" i'm basing my "opinion" on the same things everyone (for the most part) is. Please if you agree/disagree comment. Be respectful because im not disrespecting anyone else's opinion.
