Like I said in my other posts, no company should be allowed such arrogant and lazy attitude without suffering consequences.
In my country, MS has a TERRIBLE reputation. And, to be fair, MS deserves it. At this point, while WP 8.1 was brilliant and running flawlessly, W10M seems to be a typical MS product - a mess where things just stop working for no reason when you need them the most.
I don't want to play on such a negative note, but I can't help it. I really love the platform but I think I'm starting to really dislike Microsoft as a company for their attitude which seems to lack any effort, passion and thought on the average user.
I wouldn't call it arrogance. If you are the worlds leading software provider, and, you have recently offered a massive upgrade to virtually every Windows user around the globe, your priorities would have to lie there. Do you risk alienating billions, or do you divert all your resources into a small sector?
I believe the delays in the mobile release could have been down to the, somewhat unexpected, take up by OEM's. I'm sure HP wouldn't release such a great looking, fully spec'd device with a half ars*ed, buggy OS. I also believe that the insider program,on mobile, may have bitten them on the butt as well. How many actually provide proper technical feedback. What is the percentage of preview build users who do report back? Mostly you find whinging and moaning on the various WP forums and a plethora of threads full of doom mongers arguing about other OS's, instead of taking an active role in the development of W10M. You then have the blog, thread and news skimmers who just see a headline, take it as gospel, and then shout long and hard if it proves to be, using WC's new favourite saying, 'taken with a pinch of salt'. As for W10M stopping for no reason, well, I'll reply as most people have. "It's a preview", and by studying the legal requirements / warnings when you sign up for insider, it says don't use it if you need your device to operate as it should.
MSFT may not have the best reputation, and there are some markets where the reputation is lower than a rattlesnakes butt, but they are a global company, expected to earn money/show a profit, for the investors/shareholders, and that means the most profitable markets.
As for the title of the thread, it's a damned sight easier to find 'Wally'.
