Me: People have different opinions
(you follow with)
You: Higher specs are better
Clearly a straw man argument because it had nothing to do with the point I was trying to make. You used my post as a way to further your own argument even though we're clearly having two different discussions.
OP essentially said "we don't need to move forwards with newer hardware"
You were replying to cgk1's post, who is sharing my viewpoint
My argument belongs in this thread. I really don't think I incorrectly quoted your post, because it wasn't even about people having a choice. It was a response to cgk1's post, who was saying that some people need to wake up and look at the competition. I totally understand the viewpoint of enjoying what you have, and being content in it. But at the same time, wouldn't you want something better, something competitive with the market leaders?
I am not saying Windows Phone isn't currently competent, since Android has its kinks to work out (and Apple needs to work out how to move its platform forwards without alienating users). But it's the end-game if we continue as is.
I honestly don't see how it is delusional to say that this platform needs to progress, and that everyone would benefit from performance improvements all-round. Look at this thread in context of the current stuff going on in the Windows Phone world, and the tech world in general. I get the overwhelming sense that the mindset of the OP is the kind of thinking that could get this platform in to a lot of trouble.
If you disagree on my interpretation, fine. Don't call my arguments straw mans for the heck of it, though.
