OP I like how you tend to your job seriously and even handedly. Penny_1 has a good points. I would add that since you use post, make sure to highlight the strengths of WP and maybe highlight the weaknesses of android. Of course do so where there isn't a high feel of bias. Definitely be aware...

Just like Sprint, always hedging itself with Windows phones that are either at the middle of the road or just under. So sad.

If it were me, I'd be concerned with the RAM availability in correlation to the long term use of the device. For me, I'd used it for at least a good 5 years if not more and I can totally imagine applications utilizing more and more RAM down the road. If that's not a concern for you (e.g. you'll...

So I just came across this thread. My apologies if it's been shared before: Siri's Inventors Are Building a Radical New AI That Does Anything You Ask | WIRED The article mentions Cortana in a blip; almost as a throwaway. However, when I see the decision tree chart at the bottom, I'm at a loss...

To the OP: because of ignorance and aversion.

Best idea is what you suggested: education. It's the best tool to combat ignorance.

If nothing specific but wanted a general experience I didn't have to think about and without a Linux-y feel, then iOS. Android if there was some specific application like using my phone as an impromptu wireless cell modem.

Heh it's like you want to gloss over the new precedent Apple set when it first introduced the iPhone. Of course MS more or less dominated, they helped push it during the early 2000's. But you can't say it was poor planning because who was the majority people buying those types of devices? It...

But I don't think that's what people are saying when they say Windows Phone is still relatively young. It's not young in Microsoft's history, sure, but it's young for this paradigm. One especially set by Apple. You may think it doesn't matter, but it's granular difference that does, at least...

I see, that's a bit round about way to reply. But on that subject I really don't think you can include Windows Mobile because that was effectively a different paradigm of mobile OS. It wasn't until Apple made it accessible and average consumers (not tech consumers) voted with their wallets for...

Actually I kind of don't know what you're saying as I don't know how this relates back to SWW's original comparison of Windows Phone being a young OS. In relation to this statement I suppose that holds true for WebOS when it "broke" what PalmOS did huh?

I don't think SWW is really being argumentative. Windows Phone is different now in underlying frameworks, design, and usage. Just like Windows 8 is different from Windows 3.1. Might be under the same umbrella in terms of category or however else you want to abstract it, but an advancement or...

You oversimplify my position.

Depends, we'll have to see how Skylake performs--that's an architecture change. I'm assuming MS would be targeting that with the SP4; provided of course Intel keeps their road map in order

I'd say that's how software stays boring, which I think is the general comment of the OP's starting post. Yeah those features may be great for iOS but how are they great as a whole for regular and mobile computing? The only thing that seems decently impressive to me is Handoff. That looks to...
