I'm getting lured by android.

[Karkadann]

Before getting my first WP, I used Android. I've never had any top device. The best Android device I had was a Galaxy Ace I bought on October/2012. It was nice at first, but then I noticed how stuff works on Android. If you don't have a lot of internal storage, you're screwed. If you don't have a lot of RAM, you're screwed. IDK for the >4.1, but until the 4.1 Android can't install apps on the SD by default. If you have a low-end device, it probably have small internal storage. That means you will run out of space for new apps and that your phone will get laggy and crash more often. I used it for 4 months, then I sold it. I was going to buy a WP but I've got a PS Vita instead (nice hardware, btw). For some reason I started looking for a better Android device. Then I realized that, to buy an Android, I have to check every specs, check if the sound is good, check benchmarks, and I've got tired of looking for the perfect device for me. I decided to get me a cheap WP8 device. Got a Lumia 520 and it was the best phone I've ever had. Used it for 20 days, and then the Lumia 920 got a nice price. I didn't think twice. Got my white Lumia 920. I know it's not the best WP, but this stuff is expensive here in Brazil.
I'm not returning to Android at any time.

Actually I don't think Microsoft does. They would love to, and they would if they could, but they don't know how.

What???? Microsoft doesn't know how to collect your data? Did you really say that??

I think Google simply couldn't care less.

Plus the wearables rejoinder was hilarious IMHO.

You're trying to make an argument based on an advertising campaign? Are you serious?
The simple fact is that every company, whether it's Microsoft, Google, Twitter, Facebook, Amazon, real life corporations like Target, both political parties (I've done a lot of analytics work for one political party--it's shocking what they know about you), they're trying to ruthlessly exploit every scrap of information they have on you and it's insane to think otherwise.

MS makes money by charging manufacturers for the license. And will soon be making money on hardware sales like Apple.

Google needs to exploit user data for its core business as an online advertising provider.

MS and Apple's business model = make products and services and sell them
Google's business model = give away services to enable large scale data mining needed to increase sales of targeted online advertising space.

Ha ha yes I know that Microsoft and everybody else in the business knows how to collect our data. I was referring to how the data is used once they have it.

I personally feel that online privacy is overrated. There is no such thing as privacy anymore. It's gone folks! I'm sure that a lot more is known about us than we think, even those people who are ultra careful about privacy. And I also believe that it makes very little difference how much you try to hide, unless you live in the jungles and have no contact with the modern world.

I'd be happy to,do some dance moves to woo you deeper into WP8, but I'm a dude and I don't swing it that way LOL

But youll be happy to dance. I don't dance. What I don't get is your disrespect.

That is what is known as a "rumour".

Regardless, even if they did do that, it would only be a temporary attempt to increase market share, after which license fees would be brought back.

And Bing ads is a tiny part of Microsoft that doesn't make any money. Google's equivalent is vital to their core business

Oh, Google is far from silent on this. Its bad form to fight an ad directly though....its a position of weakness.

Think more along the lines of Google's treatment of WP (YouTube, GApps,etc) their response....
