False. The whole point of having a huge app store is that you don't need to use a web browser to access services that aren't native (or partnered) with Microsoft. Usually, there is a first-party application available for most anything.
Services like Path, Instagram, Hulu Plus, etc. Having Native Apps allow you to access those services in a way that a web browser doesn't facilitate. Web Browsers don't give Push Notifications. Web Pages don't integrate with the Sharing System in Operating Systems. In some cases (Path, Instagram) you cannot access the service at all without an app. A browser won't save you there, and neither will a People Hub that doesn't even integrate the service (and you'd probably need a full FW update for MS to integrate it, if they ever do).
The built-in Social Hubs in some OSes (Windows Phone People Hub being literally equivalent to Samsung Social Hub) can't make up for the lack of an app, because some developers will break your app at the API/Authentication level to disallow you from integrating your service - Instagram and Pandora are/were known for that.
The notion that you don't need an app for most things on WP7 or WP8 is about as valid as saying that for Android and iOS, because all three platforms have a web browser and the other two have a better supported web browser (WebKit) than Windows Phone.
1. Every Android phone ships with an Office Suite. Samsung phones ship with one that can both Edit and Create documents, and can access Cloud Services like DropBox and Box.net - among others.
Additionally, the Google Drive app can create and edit Google Docs, so that's invalid even in the absence of the pre-loaded Office Suites on most (all?) Android devices. Sharing and Collaboration is built into that app, as well.
2. Can do that with Google Music or Sony Music Unlimited. Also Samsung Music Hub on GS3 devices.
Zune Pass is not free.
The XBox app works over the internet so theoretically someone can use your phone to run up charges with it while you're on vacation across the country if you lose an unlocked phone. That's not flawless.
As for Win8 Tablets and PCs I guess it matters if you have a Win8 Tablet or PC
I wouldn't call it flawless/integration. More interoperability than integration. I think the difference between those two words are becoming more and more muddied as time goes on, on these "tech forums."
You see, this is the definition of interoperability:
I think that makes more sense. There's no flawless integration there, they just interop well, which any OS can do given decent cloud services and accompanying software - which is all the WP8/Win8 interop is: software and cloud services. It really isn't that hard, they just baked it into the OS. Whoopdy-doo. Apple does this with OSX/iOS/iCloud/etc. already. Google does it with Chrome OS.
3. Ignorable speculation because no such devices exist (WP7/WP8 release devices with the same hardware as i.e. a HOX or GS3, not even a GS2/SR or something on that level). You're assuming WP7/8 OS performance scales linearly which cannot be assumed. Obviously you are not a software developer.
You can uninstall and disable pretty much all carrier bloatware in ICS, nevermind Jelly Bean. That's all WP7 does. If you factory reset, it's back there again, cause it's baked into the ROM. If you truly want to get rid of it in WP7, you still need to break into your phone to rip that package out - similar to Android. iOS is the only carrier-subsidized OS that ships basically free of bloatware (maybe there's a VVM or MyAT&T/MyVerizon app on there or something, but those are literally ignorable and actually useful).
Ignorable subjective and assuming point. Yea...
And still be wrong on many counts...
