Yes because their phones hardly exists in the US market..more android phones came out in 2010 in the US then WM in a lifetime. Not ot mention that all who picked it up it was barely alive, froze up and etc due to poor hardware.

2. google makes a huge profit from android sales, not from OS sales but advertising sales from using their free email system and default search engine built into the phones. It amazes me that a person with a brain would actually think that google is spending millions upon million for development of this OS just for the fun of it. if you knew what google does with all your personal info you wouldn't be uttering the word "android".

The same thign that M$ with your info..and I never said Google doesn't make money on Android..Google makes 90% money on adwords and everything they do is based around it. That said Android is open source and you can completely remove Google out of android such as Motorola did for AT&T and plans to do for China

3. wm out of the box has always been the best with features such as registry editing, multi-tasking and office software built in that others still cannot do while wm has done it for many years.
|
It has many software features yes its been out for YEARS and is a mature platform...hardware features on the other hand are HORRIBLE

4. ms did not have any control over hardware and manufacturers (especially palm with the treo) have made ms look real bad with hardware that cannot handle their OS. now the control begins with wp7 and as usual MS will dominate the market.
|
I agree about the control on hardware..but its M$ fault..their mentality was 5 years ago..now their mentality is 2 years ago..progress I guess...

the words that i hear from everyone right now are the words i herd with wm was first introduced to the market.. symbian is better, palm os is better... good luck with that.
|
Yes because they were more mature platforms but M$ won out because it was business oriented and M$ had a huge tie on business market..their influence though is less then before

Microsoft will never allow itself toget dominated in any market especially when it comes to quality. the people complained and windows 7 came out and completely destroyed everything in it's path as windows 2000 did when MS aimed that OS directly at Linux and had administrators calling into MS asking how to remove Linux servers and incorporate Windows 2000 servers instead.
|
People did not complain when Win7 came out they complained when Vista came out..and windows 2000 was not that great..microsoft was always in the server market with Windows NT being first. The time that Microsoft got progress in the server market is Windows 2003 (I use these and CentOS for my servers myself)
