Windows mobile has nothing in common with MS Windows other than I think
they are both poorly coded, buggy and virus prone. Whereas something
like Android is Linux, just like any distro such as Ubuntu runs on and
are excellent, secure, innovative and community driven. HTC magic and
hero are real M$ mobile killers, even better than Nokia. Google
understand technology and don't need abusive monopolistic practices to
keep their market share. You are so old school thinking M$ can carry on
abusing its market share. Don't underestimate Google just because you
only know M$!
