Microsoft Updates ?Next Lock Screen? App For Android With Weather Info And More

MS updates next lock screen app for android, while they have forgotten about the live lockscreen beta for WP, I dont have problem MS launching office & skype on Android to promote its services but dedicating their time on something not related to their core services is absurd, does it even care about WP?

fanboys may say this is a garage project, but developers at Google or Apple dont make WP apps in their free time as they are aligned to their company's strategy.

And this is a bad PR.

Why is Microsoft making that for the most used mobile platform over the third place one? It's almost like they're going back to their roots or something.
