Before you attack me, maybe you should try owning a Windows Phone. I am speaking from experience. You are just speaking from things you found on the internet.

- runjake 13y agoI wasn't attacking you, I was saying you were wrong -- and you were wrong. And I actually do own two Windows Phones (one is a developer "HTC Mazaa" unit given to me by Microsoft after being one of the winners of a Windows Phone development competition, and the other is a WP8 Lumia) and I develop for Windows Phone. Has Microsoft given you a developer phone lately? Seriously though, don't presume to know my experience level.
- spoiledtechie 13y agoNot to toot my own horn, but yes actually. I was given a windows 6.0, 6.5 CE, 7.0, and I'm actually currently using the phone the gave me from their developer conference. 8.0. seems like there is a lot of presuming going around. I'll apologize now and say I am sorry to have offended you.
- ajross 13y agorunjake was impolitic, but correct. The Google GMS app suite is distinct from the OS image and can be updated independently via the Play Store. It's no different in practice from what you see on Windows Phone -- a core OS image must be updated (rarely, and with hardware OEM and carrier approval) via firmware, but almost everything user-facing is an app from the market.
