Just to clear this up..M$ also does the spying on your data thing..the china filtering news, Google was just highlighted because their policy is openess and having a filter was kinda controversial so they pulled out of china altogether so they don't have to filter results...M$ on the other hand still filters in china and most Android handsets in China come with Bing which filters for china. Remember Android is open source..so if you wanted to you can remove Google completely from Android and replace it with Yahoo/Bing...thats what the companies do in China...

They are probably run by the CIA. Comon a couple drunk kids in school make a trillion dollar megacorp? Bill gates may have been power hungry in the beginning but his charitable contributions to society are amazing. He has even convinced most of the billionaires of the US to give up half of their fortunes to charity/human projects etc. Android is overblown and isn't all that great. Besides its being ported and will surely be an option to dual boot if possible.

I'm not gonna deny that Google is secretly evil and out to conquer the world...but they are actually doing good work on the OS in general..its not perfect though..Also so you know Bill Gates does not own or operate M$ for a while..Ballmer is the one who runs M$ now..and that guy is a jerk..even Bill Gates didn't like him...they pretty much always argued with each other...

If microsofts only allowing installation of items through marketplace its really no different than iphone or google and allows them to at least have some accountability for malicious apps. You will be able to crack/root it whatever like anything else and bypass all that anyway. The development community for wm devices is far larger than google or iphone and I think it will continue to stay that way. In fact most of the stuff will be cross platform between web/phone/console which is awesome.

Overall the community for WM is big...but that is for WM..not WP7...we will see how it goes..already a huge portion of the community left to android after M$ announced WM is pretty much dead for phones..The ones that are remaining are mostly undecided and a few dedicated...
