I just posted this as a comment in response to CNET poster saying 'WP8 is a mess'. Who's with me?
"You only think its a mess because its so customizable that its hard to understand the OS if you're using a demo device or someone elses. Think of it this way. Let's say smartphone OSes are like bathrooms. Bear with me. If you walked into someone else's bathroom it would feel foreign to you because they have it set up differently. If you had to find a roll of toilet paper because they had just run out you'd probably be confused because it may not be where it is in your own bathroom. Now imagine you and your friend walk into a public bathroom(for no reason other than nature calls), you both know where everything is, you're both familiar with the setup, and you can get in and out quickly(hopefully). But this public bathroom doesn't have the soap you like, the toilet paper dispenser is on right of stall when you prefer reaching to the left when its time, and its overall just not somewhere you want to be. You know this bathroom but would you ever trade it for your own personalized bathroom back home? No. You wouldn't. Android and iOs are the public restrooms of OSes while WP8 can provide the comfort and solace that only your personal bathroom can. I rest my case."
