Bill Gates now uses an Android phone

  I really admire Mr. Gates for many things, but banning Apple products in his house is not one of them.

  Bill doesn't own a huge amount of MS stock any more.

    Define huge. He still owns something like 2.5% of MSFT according to Forbes.

  Samsung hardware is awesome, and Android OS is not too bad either, if you manage to get rid of all the privacy invasive Google apps.

    You can do what I do with my phones. Root it and install a AOSP based rom and skip flashing the Gapps packages. For app store you can use F-Droid and Yalp. Most of the Google apps have pretty usable FOSS alternatives.

  For what it's worth, although I don't think any new hardware has produced in some time, I am still getting regular updates (~monthly?) on my Windows phone.
