Idk who's comment I read, talking about something about WP being unique and simplistic? Uh, maybe we should make a "live tile", for that discussion.lol Microsoft is not really doing much of anything that hasn't been done before, it's ideas have been deprived of from other platforms before it. Heck, even the live tiles feature isn't original, why? Look it up, they're getting sued based on a patent having been filed for it years ago. And for someone else who said something about google not trying to help WP because there just isn't any money for them in it? Uh, yeah, more than 90% of google services are free. Problem is, like ios, Microsoft wants a cut from whatever is being offered in their store while in Android, it's free. If developers want to.charge for their apps, that's their call, not google's. Also, Microsoft charges the manufacturers a fee so they can sell phones for WP, talk about greed right off the bat. My opinion, Google has nothing to lose or gain from MS, that said, this petition is stupid for Android and WP users alike.

Petitions won't help...... Ask Microsoft to show good sales number of all Windows 8 devices(RT/WP/W8), and google will scramble to make apps for those OS........

I only need google translate. since I have nokia maps on wp8, I don't need googlemaps. may be google chrome would be great as an alternative to internet explorer.

There is also a second petition to some of the top application developers to support their Apps on WP platform. On the change.org site, just search for: mint, flipboard

Sorry, cant post the petition link here due to constraints with the new account. :-(

Thank You.
