Comment Windows sucks because they emulated Apple. (Score 2) 223
Microsoft is killing themselves. Lowering the cost of porting applications is no substitute for generating organic demand for a platform people see value in using.
MS has a technologically sound platform yet their desperate attempts at "Apple emulation" is costing them dearly in terms of hackers and developers in a position to want to write software for WP.
The platform is openly hostile to customization and demonstrates no respect for privacy or rights of its users.
In addition to failing to offer basic features available in other platforms including insanely enough even features present in previous generations of "Windows Mobile".
Until this changes good luck getting anyone to care about using the platform much less develop software for it.
