Yeah, I'd "consider" it. I'd probably reject it, but just to reject it would mean I "considered" it - simply forming an opinion about something, positive or negative, means you've considered it.
Kia's a perfectly good brand, in my view. I wasn't using it to be negative about Microsoft, that's your bias or defensiveness. I'm just saying that the article is citing the number of people who would "consider" buying Windows Mobile, which is a really weak indicator for how many would buy it.
What % of people would "consider" getting kicked in the nuts for $10? I'd argue nearly 100%, but how many would actually agree to it?
- aespinoza 15y agoI understand your point. I think what is interesting about this story is not about how the word consider is being used. It is mostly about interest. People are open to a Microsoft Phone, and that could definitely drive expectations. I don't want to drag this discussion further. I understand your points, and I actually agree. We are just talking about two different things.
