Microsoft issues take down notice for WM6.5.1 ROMs - Page 4

Yep, with how slow Sprint is to give us upgrades for our phones and not being allowed to mess with WM6.5.1 ROMS...Droid will be running on devices that M$ never dreamed it would run. It seems like they would want us to push the bleeding edge.

I'm with the crowd on this one, calling "BS".
That takedown that was linked from wmpoweruser.com at XDA looked almost identical to a fake one last March. That lasted a day or two

It's fake. Microsoft would send a legal letter and not post on a website like that anyway.

This has happened before and it seems is happening again. I wonder if this 'Internet Investigator' (same title as the fake notices) used the same IP and email addy as before...

You make utterly no sense. Apple is 100 times more protective of their code, licensing and portability than Microsoft is. Does everybody that uses an apple product lose all common sense the first time they power it up?

Exactly. MS would NEVER post something so silly with so many legal ramifications to a public forum. The owners of the forum would be sent registered letters or served with a C & D. Anybody who wishes to think or argue differently is completely clueless. It amazes me how so ill-informed so many people are about things that are so simple. No wonder so many people fall for the nigerian email scams!

Well, I posted my skepticism here. I agree, too many people just assume this is true and don't follow up on it/question it. It's amazing how much fake authority we can instill in someone via an email in 2009.

Hmm... This has a strong resemblance to the research of Dr. Milgram...

lol, good point--Milgram's work was great on that topic

<flash back> Years ago I saw Rage Against the Machine in NYC and pre-show they played 45 mins of the documentary on Obedience to Authority
