Yeah... I guess, Microsoft couldn't have dreamed about putting their users into such a strict jail as was made possible by the advent of iPhone and later Android. Especially so due to having a free alternative that, if they pushed too hard, might have become more attractive to their users. They were also sued more than Android have been so far. And the legislation has still to pick up steam to crack on the scam that some of the Android (or iPhone) parts are. Unfortunately, legislation needs to have much more technological sophistication that they currently have to be able to deal with this. :(
