So ya not every single WM app is not in one place, you know what? thats ok because I don't have one company controlling over whether or not that or this app is acceptable.
There are TON's of FREE Apps,

I just don't see the Market place a winning argument. |
You don't even know your own platform, man. Those sites are garbage and have been pretty much abandoned in the last couple years. Please, never mention those sites again because it's a buzzkill for my winmo fan side. The main freeware sites are freewarepocketpc.net and 1800pocketpc.com. The former even has their own freeware market you can install to device. Unfortunately, they're packed with 99% trash.
It's not about the quantity of apps. You are clearly missing the big picture. What's available on all these winmo sites and markets are, simply put, crap. Theyre outdated in functionality and looks, and some don't even work anymore. That explains why you listed the worst freeware sites of them all because even you don't care to investigate these alternate sources. You said how many versions of solitaire do we need? That's just it, the selection on winmo may be repeats and unimpressive, but you will be shocked by what is available on the android market already. Even the clones of the good ones are good, it's rather impressive to see after using winmo for so long. You really need to try before you try to say they're equal.
No matter how many markets or sites you provide for winmo, you cannot be happy to use it in argument because of the quality of the apps and the hoops you have to jump through - not to mention price. $30 for im+ full and resco explorer each? That's crazy!
Small and Major developers have abandoned winmo. Your boys at skyfire update the winmo version once a year? They keep updating it for android and they're putting their newest features in it. Same with opera mini, it actually gets updated and guess what, it works! Not to mention Dolphin browser HD is Fennec, but actually works. All the previous winmo only premium apps have already made it over and they're even better, which is a damn shame because i know winmo can do better. It's sad that not even fandango wants to make an app for winmo. You may not care for that app, but it's surely a sign of how bad things are in the eyes of companies/developers.
In the end, the developers decide which platform is better for apps. WinMo is done in that regard. If you're someone who likes apps, you're on the wrong platform. And if you've never spent a few days with android or iPhone, you don't understand the amount of quality apps/games out there...
Anyway, I'm done here... i'm wasting too much time debating points that shouldn't even be up for debate. Take my advice, stop trying to find winmo equivalents for what android can do and start looking for stuff that WinMo can do OVER or Better than android. That's the only path that can hold some water. Good luck.
PS: i use both platforms. I just can't get behind your points.
