Yeah, I think that the example of what happened to PC makers' profits after Microsoft became the definition of PC instead of IBM-compatible, was pretty informative to the phone companies. They didn't have to be too tech-savvy to see that they didn't want to have PC makers' kind of profit margin, and Microsoft above all was the company that they would be suspicious of.

- rossdavidh 7y agoNo doubt, but that doesn't mean it wouldn't have been even worse if they were using a proprietary Microsoft OS for their phones.
