Why on earth would Google care enough right now about MS' phone efforts for that to be something they're actively seeking?
I think it's far more likely that any movement towards C# on Android would be motivated by: 1) perhaps enough devs are asking for it, and 2) it would give them extra leverage in negotiations with Oracle about Java.
- criddell 10y agoGoogle would be foolish to think Microsoft is down for good in the phone market. If this is something they would ever consider negotiating for, they wouldn't wait until Microsoft is strong. You do it when they are weak. Plus, if they make a deal with Microsoft, Samsung can't come along and make the same deal with Microsoft for Tizen tools.
- bitmapbrother 10y agoThe only foolish company would be Microsoft for thinking they still have a chance in mobile. Besides, they've already capitulated as their marketshare is below 1% and continuing to decline. It's all about the mobile ecosystems and it's something that Microsoft and Samsung will ever have.
