No, I've only read articles about it, so I definitely can't make a definite judgment about the quality of the research. But assuming journalists aren't misrepresenting the facts (which may or may not be a good assumption in this situation), it seems fairly obvious that Microsoft has a vested interest in developing a better phone operating system. Their intentions weren't necessarily nefarious, but I doubt they funded this purely for the sake of science. It's in their best interest to study cell phone efficiency, and it's in their best interest to study their competitor's phones. That just seemed like an obvious conclusion, but is there something in the actual paper that indicates anything different?
