Re: Turn it round and ask yourself

As has been pointed out previously, Google don't directly patch handsets. They release updated code and the vendors of the handsets are then responsible for updating them. This is for the very good reason that the vendors customize the source code for their particular hardware implementation. Sucks if you're with a slow handset vendor, but it is what it is. MS have no such claim to make with Windows.
