Microsoft Flashes A Nice Big Middle Finger At Android’s Fragmentation

A month ago, in my initial piece about Windows Phone 7 , I was cautiously optimistic about the platform but had some questions about Microsoft's ultimate intentions. Namely: " will they use their power to try and bend the carriers to their will? Or will they take the Google approach and let them walk all over the place dictating features and bloatware? " I'm happy to report that at least initially, it looks like it will be the former. " If Microsoft releases an update for your phone, you get it. Period ," Ed Bott writes today for ZDNet.
