Tl;dr: If you don't like this site, stop visiting it. Go and read WMPowerUser, Microsoft News, Gizmodo, Macrumors, Cult of Mac, etc. There is a lot of choice out there
It's just that they don't want to do it - they want more control for themselves and more information about users for advertising and marketing
So tell me, why Facebook data isn't open for everyone? That's control too, isn't it?. And do you remember when twitter said "no" to Google for use Twitter data on Google Social Search?
You should inform yourself before commenting, please.
by using your logic, MS should be investigated too, they are pushing IE9, Windows, etc on their Hotmail page, and nobody complains. And Hotmail still is a dominant force.
Twitter said NO for using their data on Google. Facebook data is not open for Google. So, how do you expect Google Search+ to use others data? And all that illegaly enter other markets BS is just FUD. You should inform yourself before commenting.
I suggest you read the whole article. It tells you about the very dark side of Google.
As if all other companies were honest, and they don't have a very dark side. Troll harder
Microsoft may be many things, but they have always respected privacy.
That's why Microsoft got a lot of criticism because of the phoning home feature of WGA right? Or that's why MS gives your info to the government even without your consent. Or that's why Microsoft collected PC and phones locations in ther Web map services...
You should inform yourself a little more, all that glitters is not gold
I live in Seattle and many tech people I've talked agree that MS' biggest problem is the person at the top - Steve Ballmer. He has no vision whatsoever and at best is a chief operating officer.
Not only Ballmer, but also the bureaucracy at Microsoft is one of the biggest problems for them. That's documented on the Mini Microsoft blog
If you are going to rule your life by speculations, believe me, you are screwed.
Just wait and see. If Google don't release the source code, we should stop supporting them
Slashdot Mirror
why?
If Google is successful at invalidating that patent (at USPTO or at Court of Appeals), will this feature come back?
butthurt because Microsoft is in the list, and Google isn't, you shill?
You lost me at "On top of that Nokia will use Android on their lower end phones", you liar
You're right. All this astroturfing (read the comments) is simply EPIC

But not all software is in C or C++...
It will be a very difficult task to port x86 software to ARM...
Why is he a troll? Attack the argument, not the person
The question is, will they succeed?
They will keep denying that rumor... If they accept it, it will be a huge PR disaster...

iPhone also has security and malware problems. The perfect software doesn't exist, so WP might have some security problems too
