Microsoft starts taking shots at Google's Android

[doubleokneegro]

I have no words for microsoft... old white guy in the picture should sit down and play with the phone...use it don't talk about where's the money.... sounding more and more like apple... money money money... they want a device that gets them rich and leaves their customers with a boring. Device... the speed, productivity, and inevitable potential of android is what makes a good device not the money made in return....

I don't even know why he talking.... besides a few minor issues microsoft doesn't have a compeiting device... people still have to search the net for hacks and mods and halfof them vcould brick ya ****

Suck a fat one microsoft, stop using google search if u don't like em...

So there just taking there chance to feel like tuff guys and pick on the new kid on the block Sir, Android G1/a.k.a Dream.

lol... the picture reminds me of someone... trying to down play the android... oh wait it is... hahaha... I've read many articles... and I found one thing consistent...
Market share loss...
All of these companies have something to lose if Android does well... Microsoft already lost a lot of ground due to Google's advances...
Sprint has too much invested in another platform... making it a dwindling... company... if they step forward with android...
Verizon... just haters... lol....

Money talks... when it walks away... these companies... crawl on their hands and knees to get it back... so.. sad... so... sad...

speaking of verizon I just left their asses for t-mobile and this g1, so I am one who can vouch for that statement...they will not get one more dime for me and that deactivation fee isnt nothing since its prorated now...a lot of companies are about to go back to the drawing board...and its funny, google will always rule and their future doesnt seem to be in any danger whatsoever...I have a friend who invested in them way back when they first started , and he's been banking ever since, I just wish I could get on his level but don't want to take that plunge...I feel like its too late

I'm a fan of a few of Microsoft's products but they are undeniably sinking very fast. And now Google has stepped into almost of all of their markets with amazing strength. Who wouldn't feel threatened by that? He has to keep a good strong front or everyone around him will fall. They are most certainly worried about Google because they have continually proved to be extremely good at what they do even when Microsoft fails.

Just remember Google is a content provider, they dont make things such as gaming systems and music devices. Google has services such as search, adds, and now Android that is not only an operating system for moble phones, but will branch off into computers and even cars in the future, Just to name a few ways Google is putting a crunch on Microsoft.

It's quotes like that which piss me off royally. I know large corporations like Microsoft do not care about their customers by giving them what they want. Its a perfect reasoning why Vista sucks and Microsoft doesn't care as long as they are "making money". Hell the CEO just proved it right here in the sentence quoted. I hope Google stomps their A$$!!

So true. Next MS will have a Vista Mobile OS. LOL. Just think how bad that will be.

Dear Mr. Ballmer
I know you must protect your product, your very existence depends on it. I know you're just doing your job... dis it now while you can and try to slow the process, but like life, the process shall prevail. Any good marketing person knows that.
How will it make money, you Mr. Ballmer, can probably come up with 2 dozen different ways to exploit Android. A pretty stable OS out the gate, remember Win-Mo v1... Not so stable was it.... Android has a really good start and people are excited, You can't buy that kind of press.

Bring people in with free apps in the beginning, establish a market then add premium apps at a cost, give your developers a real chance to make some decent money off their labor (Hint: Steve Jobs). Give the consumer an abundance of cool apps and a platform to freely exploit, they'll come running...
Establish the OS on phones across the the board, bring more people to your advertising base.
There is a strategy but it's built for the long term, kind of like this country where freedom and capitalism can co-exist to built something from a small garage based idea to a multi-billion biz... Kind of like...er a Microsoft... (Green blinking cursor)
Oh, don't forget your roots.... Where's a young Bill Gates when you need him...

2 Cents..... properly used can accumulate to millions...

The Vista comments are equally annoying I've never had a single problem with it. Everyone I know that is computer literate also is problem-free with Vista. I stayed away from it due to the complaints I heard, but when I made the jump I couldn't figure out what the problem was.

XBox had some severe hardware issues. New ones work perfectly fine. PS1 and PS2 also had some hardware problems. Remember the warping lenses on the PS1? Maybe not to the scale of the XBox, but, Microsoft replaced them and I'm satisfied with my 360.

This is definitely just some comments made to downplay Android. They aren't going to admit they're worried. Investors don't want to hear that.

This coming from a guy who laughed off the iphone as well. It's like old government meeting Barack Obama...hmm I don't get it. It's too young, or it's not ready, or we'll see when it flops. Old...New.
