You really need to take stock and have a look at how your hatred for Apple blinkers you to the extent that noone can mention their products in a positive or even neutral light without being labelled as a fan. Remember that you have suggested the entire 150 year old patenting system is invalid purely because of some favourable judgements for Apple. Introducing a little objectivity would be useful for you.Quote:

I'm just disappointed with the relative lack of promotion from MS. I don't feel comfortable with the smartphone market being reduced to a duopoly and I want MS to take significant market share from Apple and Google to reintroduce healthy competition into this sector. This is going to take more than a brand new OS and a single glitzy debut show. I want to see saturation advertising especially in the buildup to Xmas, something MS can well afford and it isn't happening. Thats surprising given how key Windows 8 is to the future of MS as desk/laptop computer sales are declining taking away their cashcow.
