    This one is again one of those overhyped slashdot summaries..

    If you read the actual story, you'd see that that it is fault of Samsung and Focus. AND even they tell its because the hardware doesn't work good with them. Just yesterday we had a story on how Apple fucks up old iPhones and now we have a story on how new OS updates aren't delivered to incompatible phones? Seriously, pick which one is good. Cripling your old phone with too heavy features or not providing updates.

    What is great about WP7 is its support for developers. You really cant just go wrong with that. Microsoft has always been the number one in giving developer support. From Visual Studio to C# and WP7 API. Combine this with Nokia's great hardware and I think they're going to get great support this coming year. I get the M$ hate, but just check it - it's great thing. So much better than Android.

    This is beside the fact that its not really common to expect any updates at all from your mobile phone manufacturer. Buy the phone on the merits you get, not some updates. That is common sense.

      Sorry to burst your bubble, but no. I personally choose the program I like for the job. Open source, closed source, that doesn't matter. I would choose open source if that was better for the job.

      But thinking everyone who says any good about Microsoft or any other big companies is ridiculous here on slashdot. I can't just but think its some basement dwellers who have no experience in real work.. wrong? Yeah, you are too. Just see how real stuff works.
