My avatar pretty much shows that. :smile: That reminds me I'll need to run Linux tomorrow, especially since I'm going to a Linux User Group meeting on Thursday.Or a way to say that you aren't a ****** of any os.

Actually, I don't have the cash for a Mac. I have tried FreeBSD though.All your avatar tells me, is that you are prejudiced against Apple (and a few hundred other OS')! :wink: lol, sorry.
EDIT: yeah, makes me chuckle too...
Why is this a religion for some people? Just use the best of both systems. Google maps dominates. Microsoft office dominates the document writing sector. Skype dominates the video calling side and so forth. The purpose is to maximise the quality of your experience, not make it a religion based on which company you have your allegiance to.
Google maps dominates? Seriously? That crap has gotten me lost more than MapQuest! Total garbage.
@That post halfway up the forum
It's called an ecosyetem. People like all of their products to sync together and work together. For example, I have w8 and Skype. If I had Win8 and google voice, nothing would integrate (no app).
I find the average person (like myself) just like products that do what they are made to do. My wife has her iPhone. She doesn't need a Mac.
Actually, using Google Voice with my Lumia is working pretty well using MetroTalk.For example, I have w8 and Skype. If I had Win8 and google voice, nothing would integrate (no app).

The YouTube account would be killed if you killed your Google account, since Google owns YouTube.Want to kill my gmail account as well. Question. What happens to my youtube account? Not really much of an alternative to youtube I dont think.
It means that I own my own domain, I am not tied to a service. Gmail annoyed me, so I moved to Outlook.com and it didn't require changing email addresses or any headaches. If I get tired of Outlook.com or something better comes along, I'll use that. My data was stored on Google Drive, I moved it to Skydrive. If I decide I want to use dropbox or Box.com (which is great and often gets overshadowed by dropbox) or some new service... I'll move my stuff to that. Right now my data is actually linked in two places, so if I change something in one it changes in the other.
Platform agnostic means that I have no email address or username or anything tying me down, I have no ties to any service. I can move my data as I see fit. I can use an iPhone or Android or Windows Phone or whatever I want. I often switch between iOS and Windows Phone and since my data is linked its really easy to do, everything just shows up everywhere. [/COLOR]
Want to kill my gmail account as well. Question. What happens to my youtube account? Not really much of an alternative to youtube I dont think. Since I got a WP a year ago I have been using hotmail more. I have transferred all my contacts to hotmail. How do I get an email folder though? I have hundreds of emails I need to get off the google servers. Do I have to forward each one to my hotmail account?
Vimeo is a viable alternative.
