DO you think MS is reading WC's forums?

[Joshwin]

people are giving bad press about L950s design and MSFT's unprecedented love for android and ios while sidelining WPs. these two things are everywhere in all the WC forums. do you think MS reads/knows all those things WP fans say here?

Yes, they do read the forums. you may remember a few months ago we had people from the Windows 10 group actively taking part in the forums here, collecting bugs and supporting the early builds.

However, they have tight restrictions on what they can say where. And they certainly won't comment on leaks and rumours.

Your remark about Microsoft's love for Apple/Android and sidelining WP is pretty baseless (although you probably got this impression from what you read). Microsoft supports its customers, regardless of the platform they use (something that Apple and Google doesn't do - they'd rather only suit themselves). There's no sidelining of Windows 10 mobile - maybe you've forgotten how many updates for key apps we've had.

The key issue is threads like this that are simply spreading misinformation (or FUD, if you like). Sometimes people need to take a step back from the negative hype and think for themselves.

I am more than aware that MS is doing its best for W10M, and also its vision(serve customers regardless of the platform). I am also aware of the fact that W10M is not yet released so I am pretty sure things won't be the same once it is released. But recently people are complaining a lot about MS making better apps for other platforms and releasing new apps first on other platforms etc. So I was wondering whether MS is aware of what is going on here on WC and other windows forums.

Yes, they do read the forums.

Thanks for your response, now I know they do.

This has grown to a very popular site. It tends to be on top of search engine results too.

I've been involved in projects where we were reading public forums about ourselves. It can be hard to bite your tongue and not jump in the discussions.
