What MS did to Nokia is not even close to what they have done to others.

This deal is above board - blame Nokia's incompetence in executing the Meego strategy for falling for it. It takes 2 to tango.

As somebody who owns N900, GS, iphone 4 and have used WP7 device for a day and bought Zune HD back in the days, i really like the UI feel of WP. It's the smoothest UI i have ever used.

Though it got 3 big problems to me that are: that tile home screen, i doubt Microsoft is letting big hacking community around it and browser.
While WP multitasking is no Maemo or webos imo they have done better job implementing it to the UI than Symbian, iphone or Android on this new update.
I will certainly at some point own Windows Phone like any other mobile OS, but i have always waited at least for a year with new OS's(other than for N900).

In all honesty, I'm far more likely to believe that that's the case, based on the way they talk. It annoys me when they make innaccurate statements or conveniently forget to do any research (or maybe they don't have a genuine interest in tech) and didn't realize how much better something could/should be or forget that something had already been done before. (ala Microsoft claiming to invent filesystem hard links in a patent, or that Apple DID try to get into the gaming market (remember the Apple Pippin?) WAY before Microsoft, and so on and so on).

Irksome. Just... irksome. Seems less about money and integrity and more a lack of journalists bothering to do some research or a lack of experience.
