Amazingly this article, written by Windows apologist, Microsoft advocate and anti-Apple blatherer Paul Thurrott, proves that even a broken clock is right twice a day! ;^)>

Interesting article, I think his best point was at the end when he discussed the anti-competitive nature of google using their search monopoly to gain entry into another market.
I wonder how google would respond if insteaf of releasing windows phone 7, Microsoft took android changed the search provider and then gave it away for free to the OEMs along with protection from IP lawsuits (something google isn’t willing to do).
Personally I’m glad they didn’t because Android is an awful awful OS for 2011. It reminds me of windows mobile 6 with SPB mobile shell. But if they did it would google complain that Microsoft stole their technology? So I guess they do believe in patents, just the ones they hold. Google is looking a lot like the old Microsoft and is quickly becoming the most hated IT company on the planet.
