This is an awesome article that I think all Windows Phone users should read: Windows 8: Microsoft's master plan to beat Apple and Google - Apr. 17, 2012

Nice read indeed. It seems like a decent strategy, but they will still have a hard time prying some apple loyalist. It's a plan that will take a few years to truly bloom. I think with Apple and Google having most of the market share, it's probably wont be as successful as they think. Reason I say this is because Microsoft will show the world how good you can have all your devices basically synced doing alot of the same things and integration at it's best. SO, Apple and Google will piggyback on that a bit, steal a few ideas, have the rouge developer crowd help them a bit and still keep a firm grasp on their customer base. Apple stole from Microsoft waaaaay back when and they took it and ran with it. Google copied Apple and they are successful. I really like Apple computers though. I hope Microsoft does really unleash the beast on this and make it a big success.

Me too! I'm really enjoying the Windows 8 preview on my laptop. I'm really hoping for the best. I think Windows can destroy android with just a few loyalists who continue to tout the "custom capabilities of the OS" but most people want something reliable more than custom. And there are only so many cool looking ROMs. I believe the Lumia 900 will be the nice foot in the door. Fingers crossed everyone.

Do you have a Windows Phone?

If so then you should check out the new TouchPad app. It now supports Windows 8 gesture support. I'm gonna try and set it up when I get some free time.
