We don't bash on Android... We don't like Android, and we're confident about our platform, so we don't fell the need to do that.. Think about this.. How many Android fans do you see making negative comments on every WP related article❔ Then think about how often you see a WP fan even commenting in Android related articles❔... Now, think about why you're here❔

Ok you can't compare android fans to imaginary WP fans, my laptop isn't even windows. I'll go flip before i go windows

6. rodneyej1 (Posts: 3576; Member since: 06 Jul 2013)

You don't like Windows❔.. Ummm, is anyone supposed to care❔.. I'm confused about the point of your comment..
Are you trying to get me to compete with you❔... Yeah, not interested.

haha your laptop not use windows, it maybe so yesterday

Or maybe it's running the latest version of Linux, dumbass.

You fans might be confident about your platform, but Microsoft certainly isn't. It runs constant smear campaigns against Google and Android. Any of us making a big deal out of this are simply returning the favor.

Who cares... If you don't like it don't use it, and don't waist your time.. Who cares about your politics❔

18. Sniggly (Posts: 7305; Member since: 05 Dec 2009)

Microsoft most definitely cares. Why else would they spend all their advertising dollars attacking their biggest competitor?

28. rodneyej1 (Posts: 3576; Member since: 06 Jul 2013)

All there advertising dollars❔... Lol❕❕

30. Sniggly (Posts: 7305; Member since: 05 Dec 2009)

Scroogled, Droidrage, even Smoked By Windows Phone all at least partially denigrated competitors, though Smoked was the least offender by far.

31. rodneyej1 (Posts: 3576; Member since: 06 Jul 2013)

All three of those together are barley all of MS advertising dollars.. And, remember those Mac vs PC commercials❔.. It's called business,, get over it...

32. Sniggly (Posts: 7305; Member since: 05 Dec 2009)

I wasn't a huge fan of it when Apple did it either.

And yes, those campaigns do make up the bulk of Microsoft's Windows Phone advertising.

I like how defensive you are now. It's delicious. You were proven wrong and now you're trying to act like Microsoft's repugnant behavior is no big deal.

Congratulations. You're a fanboy now.

Okay, so let's review the score:

(1) bogus app infiltrating Windows App Store.
(10000000000000000000000000) Bogus Android apps infiltrating Google's Playstore. That number is problably conservative too ;o)

There is no comparison, and Android is still a piece o' trash when it comes to security.

38. Sniggly (Posts: 7305; Member since: 05 Dec 2009)

Says someone who has obviously paid zero attention to the many articles that have come out discussing the security measures Google has built into Android.

I've always been a MS fanboi.. What have you accomplished.. Zero❕.. Try again next time, and get a life.. "Microsoft 's repugnant behavior"

41. rodneyej1 (Posts: 3576; Member since: 06 Jul 2013)

Continued... Grow a pair, dude❕ Get over it❕

43. Sniggly (Posts: 7305; Member since: 05 Dec 2009)

Listen to yourself. "Yeah, Microsoft does awful things that leaves a bad taste in the mouth of anyone with even a microscopic shred of decency. Get over it!!!!"

No. No I won't. I don't let Apple slide on that bull,
and I won't let Microsoft slide on it either.

I wish you would learn how to spell correctly and know which homophones to use because you look a little unintelligent when you type.

I think he's referring to Microsoft's "Scroogled" campaign.

Don't worry lol we'll wait.

Too eager to approve the apps and did not do their due diligent. I have nothing against M$ just don't like paying a few hundred for windows and a grant for Office.

I use free alternative at home. Besides, my company pays for my official uses of Microsoft product.

9. elitewolverine (Posts: 5192; Member since: 28 Oct 2013)

Free is very hidden in what you think is free. I would rather pay for 365 office, have support - live support, have it on linked devices and know it works that 3rd party apps. I used other apps, sure, but when push comes to shove, free apps lack what paid apps don't. Of course not all the time, but for big companies etc.

There is a reason why BB Bes Services are still running strong with companies.

Also, we talk about approved apps, how many times have bogus apps done this on droid? There is a reason droid had security issues, so the first breach by a copycat app, that has since been taken down (good sign MS was fast) in how many years of the store?

I have no problem using open office at home and kingsoft office for my mobile. Both meet my needs just fine.

In the office I use mac office to save the doc to sky drive and continue my updating with a free android office suite call kingsoft office. Work well for me. In fact I like to do my presentation from my Samsung note 2 via hdmi connection.

The publisher used their name and logo, hence why it succeeded and why they are now seeking legal action if possible.

23. pongkie (Posts: 654; Member since: 20 Aug 2011)

can you post a link on the news that their name is used as the publisher. If so there is a big screw-up here by MS
