Anyone who's owned a Windows Phone already knows this. Search for anything. Doesn't matter what it is. No matter what you search for, you'll get pages of results - of the worst apps you have ever seen. Absolute trash. It's disgusting. It makes me never want to use their app store. The fact that they not only condone it, they actively encouraged it just makes me sick. How insecure are they? How stupid are they? Do they really think the best way to cover their insecurity about being 3rd place is with bluster and bullshit? Do they really think their customers are that stupid? Whatever happened to the old philosophy of competing by trying to build clear, demonstrable superiority - a better product?
It's mind-boggling. From which point in the organisation does this insanity stem? I want to like Microsoft, but shit like this makes me feel like a fool for ever giving them a chance. Seriously. Good thing my next phone is a Nexus... great job Microsoft. Way to build loyalty among your customers. And Steve Ballmer has the nerve to call MS "ethical" and "forward-thinking."
Anyone reading this who works at Microsoft - I am genuinely curious - how do you sleep at night?

- nirnira 13y agoSo what, they just say, oh well, nothing to do with me? Great, how noble.
- iopq 13y agoWhat are they going to do? It's Microsoft, it's not like the rank and file employee can just tell the executives "I don't like your apps strategy in Windows phone" and expect them to immediately change it.
