[Windows Phone 8 General] chinarabbit:
the main problem with Windows Phone 8 is that its microsoft

sure, we thought retarded decision making was a thing of the past, since they came out with Windows 7, but the developers over at microsoft have proven they are just as stupid as ever...

1st.. iPhone & Android both have fully-functioning Office software suites that create & edit Microsoft Powerpoints, Excel, Word, etc, practically as good as your desktop version for most uses.. and what does Microcrap have in windows phone 8? a blank office screen with 2 dinky little options and the ability input and format text, and exactly nothing else..

who's their target demographic? 12 year-olds with ADD? because thats what it seems like.. how can Microcrap be so stingy and petty to not even bother creating a full-featured office suite of their own, for their own phone? it boggles the mind.. its baffling.. it defies all known human rationale.. proving once again that microsoft is over on their own planet stupid and has no connect whatsoever with the human race over on this planet

for that alone the developers should be banished to an outpost on Mars, and forced to spend their remaining days staring out at our blue planet, and pondering the meaning of earthlings & earthling lives & needs..

they could communicate any profound epiphanies via satellite back to Microsoft headquarters on earth, where, possibly, some improvements might be made

2nd... they seem to have created windows 8 to compete with phones & technology from 2 or 3 years ago..

its as if the concept for windows phone came about with windows phone 7, at hardware specifications in those days, and they just sort of went with it... its already outdated & soon to be annihilated..

Phones now have quad-core processors clocked close to 2Ghz, soon to be even faster, possibly with 8 cores..., GPU processors are rapidly growing, soon to reach a Ghz or two, Ram is already 2GB, soon to be 4... Mobile Phone screens are already full HD with 1920x1080 at 5 or 6 inches

that far exceeds most laptop specifications even 8 or 6 years ago... phones are as powerful as Laptops or Tablets already

and what has Microsoft come out with? an OS thats built for a crappy little phone 4 years ago..

its inevitable that phones will soon be desktop, laptop & tablet replacements which simply plug in to tablet screens, desktop monitors, or flatscreen televisions and work with keyboard & mouse

but what do the doofs over at microcrap think? that everyone wants to do all their computing on metro.. if they had their way they would already have abandoned Windows 7

Windows Phone 8 should already be capable of running in Metro or Windowed versions, and many kinds of desktop & Tablet software

but no, leave it to microsoft to keep everyone in the dark ages for a solid decade before they catch up

and Android needs to pull their heads out of their backsides and take advantage of the market conditions which could effectively make android a replacement for windows in desktop computing..

all they really need to do is create an android which toggles between an icon mode & a windowed mode, and is optimized for mouse & keyboard.. and is tailored to the needs of companies like Adobe & other software giants

and make an OS that is made for the next generation of phone, and make it today, so they arent dragging butt behind everything else like all phone manufacturers currently are

or, simply wait for apple to do it, and take it out of the hands of the imbeciles.
