Huh, how can that happen? Is MS forcing PC OEMs to bundle Windows Phones with their PCs?
If intent is important, then all of Apple's lawsuits against Android will be thrown out, since Apple can be construed as trying to gain a monopoly in the mobile phone market.
>Oh yes, I am criticizing Microsoft. Let the karma burn.
This is HN. Maybe you mean Apple?

It seems Microsoft fans concentrate on the East coast of the US while Microsoft hostile crowd favors the West coast. Either that or their astroturfing crowd is very quick in finding Microsoft-hostile comments and that creates the downward trend before the general crowd overwhelms them.
