Updates--what happened to "we are in charge of updates, no more carrier delays"?

[Muessig]

I wonder if you read what you wrote.

Analyzed, what you wrote is "you're not entitled to get anything other than the phone as it was the day you bought it, skeezy bugs and all--and if MS or anyone else chooses to fix those bugs, that's a gracious benefit on their part that you should be THANKFUL for!".

Got it.

In effect yes. You purchase the phone with the software that is on it the day you bought it. If MS updates your phone with or without carrier intervention that is not something you are entitled to, it is something MS are doing in order to improve your experience. I can understand your frustration in what seems to be contradictions from MS but it's been explained to you exactly what is going on here.

Any further discussion on this topic here would be circling, so in order to keep this thread as useful to the community as possible, closed.
