Microsoft doesn't use the text of the email, they use the subject.

Will it have the Play store and all the Google Apps?

I am guessing no because Google once send a C&D to Cyanogen Mod.

You just described Windows RT.

Which is why the biased headline, summary and article are nonsense. This is not even going to make a dent in Office, forget about "attacking" it.

Oh, what do you do on it? Can you draw like this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=puyMmARTqck

Oh wait, it even has shitty lag. http://www.geek.com/android/the-nexus-7-lag-dilemma-and-why-theres-no-real-fix-1560784/

Enjoy your lagfest.

I don't get all the nonsense hate. Comparing a Nexus 7 to a Surface Pro is like comparing a lawn mower with a jet engine. Of course it going to burn more fuel because it can do more. .

You must be a stupid MS hater because you can't understand this. http://images.anandtech.com/graphs/graph7478/59454.png
Not to mention that fact that the comparison is against ARM tablets running crippled OSes like iOS and Android whose headline application is Angry Birds, and not things like Visual Studio or Photoshop.

Some day you'll realize that people have different tastes and experiences.

So where is the "attack" in the headline coming from, then? If anything Google just made Office on laptops and desktops more attractive by shipping a viewer for them by default on Android.

Netcraft measures only usage, not profit. Microsoft is leading in profit even the competition is free.

Those patents are a complete failure. There is nothing to watch out. Motorola even got sanctioned for patent trolling.

Motorola continues to lose billions.

Apple and Microsoft will retaliate by adding a entry to the hosts file that redirects Google.com to Bing on all PCs, Macs and iDevices.

Care to imagine what that will do to Google's ad revenue?

Is Wikimedia counting unique hits or total requests?

For example, lets say you visit Wikipedia with your iPhone and browse 100 articles. Your friend with an Android phone browses only 1 article. Will you be counted 100 times more than him? That's how Statcounter works, by the way.

The 4.1% stat is for Nokia smartphones running Windows Phone, not dumb phones.

Please RTFA, instead of jumping in to make your regular obligatory karmawhoring anti-MS BS FUD post.
