Microsoft's latest gimmick denotes little fair play but it certainly doesn't lack in originality. The proposal comes directly from senior manager Ben Rudolph, who from his Twitter profile launched a decidedly unconventional gauntlet to Google's rivals: whoever speaks ill of Android, the Mountain View operating system, wins a Windows Phone PDA.
How to participate? Simply with a tweet. Rudolph in fact invites all Android users to expose the leaks of your mobile through the hashtag #DROIDRAGE: the 20 most merciless tweets will be rewarded with as many Samsung Focus mobile phones equipped with the Windows platform.
It is not the first time that the evangelist of Bill Gates' colossus invents one more than the devil to demonstrate the superiority of his products over the competition from Google and Apple. It happened a few weeks ago as well Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, when Rudolph challenged those present by giving away 100 dollars for each speed challenge between smartphones with different operating systems. Windows Phone versus iOS and Android. The methods of the contest were simple: take a photo and post it on Facebook as fast as possible. Ben suffered 3 defeats, a draw but above all 30 victories.
The feedback, however curious, remains a pyrrhic victory, given that Apple and Android continue to fly in sales, while Microsoft is lagging behind. Even if some flaws on the part of Mountain View seem to really exist: Android would in fact be hit, daily, by viruses that affect the security front of smartphones, above all because they creep into applications on the official market: in fact, Google has recently been forced to eliminate as many as ten applications containing Android.Counterclank, a trojan capable of taking sensitive data from devices. More than a trojan, a real Trojan horse, inside which hides Ben Rudolph, the Ulysses of technology.
