You mean WP? It's not really an alternative, it's iOS in different clothes. It's even more closed and walled than iOS, and most fruits in that garden are rotten. Only way to succeed with walled garden is to have the best fruits in there.

  Your presumption of what constitutes a viable third alternative is flawed. Most people (mass market) don't care about openness.

    They care when they are forced to use inferior products. For example, IE on WP and Apple maps on iOS6.

      What do maps on iOS6 have to do with the walled garden? Third-party map apps are allowed on the App Store.
