Is Microsoft running out of steam?
- sasvari 16y agoAndroid has a patent fee. It's not like Android's free. You do have to license patents. HTC's signed a license with us and you're going to see license fees clearly for Android as well as for Windows. seems to be the only good thing happening in the mobile world at the moment for microsoft.
- slantyyz 16y agoI hated Windows Mobile 6.x and its predecessors. Windows 7 Phone actually seems nice, despite the stupid name. It might be too little too late, but I think it has a UI that is both novel and distinct from the iPhone. The only other phone OS currently on the market that I can also say that about is WebOS. I'm probably in the minority, but I think the Achilles heel of the Windows 7 Phone is that Microsoft is farming out the hardware to multiple manufacturers.
