| Microsoft: Apple's victory good for Windows Phone |
| By Thom Holwerda on 2012-08-25 06:15:34 |
| Microsoft's response to Apple's win is probably the most cringeworthy of all. Blatantly admitting Windows Phone can't make a dent in the market on merit, but instead requires the court room to do so, Bill Cox, senior director of Windows Phone marketing communications, said: "Windows Phone is looking gooooood right now." Nauseating. |

> > Apple is no innovator. Apple has always stolen the ideas of others and then did a very good marketing. Innovation is more than just rectum plucking an idea, No, its not. You do not even have to make a product what is why there are so many pure patent-troll companies sueing around. > useful for a consumer. Wrong, the customer please zero role in the patent universe. Please read up on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pat... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inv... > > Software patents are poison for progress and innovation. Of course patents are a problem but ... (... I'm going to assume you're from the United States) then this is what you get as a result. He could also be from europe where software patents are valid too as long as the claim contains a "... running on a computer or similar technical device" closer. Software-patents are a world wide problem. Global village effects and so on. Edited 2012-08-25 17:45 UTC |

1. http://groups.csail.mit.edu/mac/... 2. You see the evidence for example in all those patent-troll companies without products sueing big money out of companies who have products but then lesser money to re-/invest future. There are many more evidences (use google to search and read up if you are interested in the whole palette which would drift us to far away from the article). All those patent-trolls sueing around are evidence enough that the patent-system is horrible broken. Edited 2012-08-25 18:07 UTC |

Not only that. Microsoft wrote that *NOW* they are good. That means before the juri spoke they where not. Microsoft himself, through its PR-man number 1, admits that the product was not good before the juri spoke. Now it happens to be the case that Windows Phone 8 was RTM before the juri spoke and hence the product itself, Windows Phone 8, will not change till launch. Nokia for example has that "before the juri spoke" not-good version and presents it in ~2 weeks to the world with there new Lumia product lines. That is news. Microsoft itself says Windows Phone 8 is not good. At least not till the juri spoke. Does anybody think customers will receive the not-good product Windows Phone 8 as good now cause the Apple vs Samsung juri spoke? Really? Fatal communication, Microsoft. Close to another osborn. You can just be happy nobody really cares about your PR man's messages right now cause of the Apple vs Samsung story. Edited 2012-08-25 18:26 UTC |

> Maybe Apple needs to adopt the position that they took when it comes to the Mac They are doing exactly what they did with Macs two decades ago: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/App... Only they got smarter and are suing a non-US company now. Seriously, though, I very much agree with what you've said. |

| The wording tells it. Its looking good but not more. As soon as you try to use it, try to do something, try to install apps its over. But hey, at least it looks good while waiting forever in the shelfes. |

Only in the OSNews bizarro world is 150% YoY growth and sequential growth every quarter since last year a failure in the marketplace. There is beyond clear momentum in Windows Phone and Nokia (their shares shot up 60% since their all time low) yet its still written off by those who see what they want to see. The same idiots were the ones saying Samsung would prevail because of "prior art" when all Samsungs exhibits didnt pass the litmus test for prior art. Not one, not two, but ALL of their defenses failed. |

Android 4.1 JB is pretty new and that Android outsells iPhone by more then factor two shows that they are not a clone but just better. It looks like Apple has to copy some things from Android to not lose even more market share. Edited 2012-08-25 18:50 UTC |

> > Please learn how to read and understand. Apple is no innovator. Apple has always stolen the ideas of others and then did a very good marketing. Software patents are poison for progress and innovation. The verdict is an american one and americans tend to hold to american businesses. There is also a strong tendency to "buy" your (self)justice - (Microsoft and ISO). I consider this verdict a farce and a loss for the whole ICT-industry. It confirms the bad habit of suffocating other companies with "patents", that build on the same idea and try to improve it, the last being a basic aspect of the human civilisation. Jobs is dead, now let us wait for apple to die. What is the evidence that software patents stifle innovation? Is there less innovation in the US than countries that do not enforce software patents? Is there less innovation in US the since software patents were legalized? Why are there so many Silicon Valley venture capital firms is innovation is being stifled? If you really believe Apple is dying by all means short the stock. Do you write code? Do you have any code that you wrote that is successful in the operating system market? Do you write any code that competes with Apple or Microsoft in marketplace? If so How many software patents do you have in your war-chest? |
