Microsoft are still an OS company and part of that strategy means walled garden.
Open internet competition is a heck of a problem for them as it undermines dependence.
Those real internet,real cross platform, based companies, Twitter, Spotify, Facebook, Google youtube etc are certainly classed the enemy.
David Cameron has regularly been seen courting Amazon.
The same can be said for Boris Johnson so, at least to me, it very much appears tax evasion is encouraged over here in Blighty.
How about working for us, the public who have to make up this shortfall now increasing national debt so dramatically?
"The company also showed off a 2,000mAh battery, which took three minutes to recharge, but the phone that housed it had been made 5mm (0.2in) thicker than normal to accommodate its girth."
Well it is sounding much like much of that old tech revamped.
I bet another 5mm would get you a 7500mah Zerolemon anyway.
That is how it works and and this is exactly the same as that Apple Sharp deal.
Apple logic is that you get the company to take all the risk and when they fail you make sure you inherit the wealth.
Remember, Apple would have used Sharp amongst others to persuade GT how Apple works.
UK Imagination likely has similar a deal, locking them out of lots of selling to big players elsewhere.
So damned if you do, damned if you don't ?
