On: Windows Phone Is Failing Because It’s Great

[AAvKK]

Every time I see a screenshot of a Windows phone with the IE logo I retch. I don't know of any web developer who would willingly put IE in their pocket, too many bad memories full of frustrating hacks.

And to be honest, the original Windows Phone 7's browser was indeed based on IE7. Mango finally upgraded it to IE9.

By the same logic, no self-respecting user should have bought an Apple product after the horror that was OS 9.

To be fair, Apple did literally bury OS9 and start anew

Much like Microsoft did with WinMo.
