Ah, the great question of modern times: Should I more hate Microsoft or Google? Personally I'll go with Microsoft, because contrary to what the blog says, I feel that Google is far more open, though that still won't make me buy and Android device. At least not without instantly "flashing" it with some custom ROM that's stripped of as much Google things as possible. Would any Windows version allow me to do this? Of course not, WP doesn't even allow me to access the file system. As for Microsoft being aware of anything, it's aware of sales and automated feedback. That's all. Considering Lumia 520 makes up a third of all Windows Phone sales, I assume there will be a lot of cheap phones in the future and little expensive innovation. Both companies are effectively forcing things on people, so talking about "being open" is, in general, out of the question. And with the "cloud and mobile foremost" direction of Microsoft, I don't think I'll have to look for "new" reason to hate Microsoft the same as or more than Google.
