TheoX, you now have to understand the philosophy (as opposed to religion!) behind this community: we promote *opensource*, and as far as I know Maemo devices are today the most open environments to date: opensource apps, opensource core (even though some stuffs are still closed, those devices are the closer things to fully open today), community projects to enhance the devices in way that other platforms forbid, etc...

Why I won't help you with your petition :

- Microsoft is a hell of a company: for instance they provide personal data to external structures. All you chats, mails, skype video calls etc... made with ms accounts are monitored by the NSA. I do believe it, and I do not like it ! Same goes with Apple, Google etc... I do not like it either, and I won't endorse them either.

- Ms is here to make money despite its customers. Just take a look at what they wanted to do with the new xbox: force people to be monitored by the xbox webcam and check with their console every 24h to keep their games runnning ! Can you believe it ? They stepped back because of Sony, but what will they come up with next ?? Not to mention their policy with the transition from WP7.5 to WP8: a lot of WPhones owners were left with the old OS with their *expensive* phones: no more enhancements, so the phones were doomed with their old OS.

- WP, despite the SDK, is closed closed closed, so that MS can have full control over what you do with your phone. You don't *own* it, you *depend* on their good will and their strategies. Bad strategies. If you want to put inside your own apps (i.e: not in the store) you must have an expensive dev account. And then, you still are not fully rooted: you must install a customized rom that lacks newer WP features. I had a WP (a Lumia). Been there, done that. And believe me, although the OS was appealing in the first place, I felt stuck.

So why we love having N9/00 ? (and as I read in your signature, you used to too) It's because we do almost whatever we want with them. We're not looking for the latest trendy apps, we're looking for apps that work, and work our own way. No "app for that" ? The community build one, and every other member profit from it.

So forget you religion argument, and be realistic: not everyone care about "dead" or "alive" OS's. What is important (to us) is the mentality behind them, and WP/MS are certainly not in our hearts.

I don't know if we should ban this post. For that matter I personally think we should let you ask for help. But me for instance, won't help you. Not because I don't like you or your behavior (which *is* childish), but because I don't want to support OS's from companies like MS. Not a religion: a way of thinking. "open", "community driven", "friendly", is what I ask for my devices and for things in general. If a company is not fair to its customers, I think no one should use their products or support them.

But don't take me wrong: I don't feel this way only with phones, tablets or computers. I feel this way for *anything* in this world. I don't want to be the cow that delivers milk to big companies who care only about their interests in spite of the people. I'll stand for my ideals in every parts that make our lives. Phones is one. I won't support MS products.
