Free Windows Phone - for victims of Android viruses
Microsoft, through its evangelist Ben Rudolph, announced the rally of five smartphones on the Windows Phone platform. Prizes will be given to the authors of the most interesting stories about how they suffered from Android malware . The only condition is that the contest participant must mark his story on Twitter with the hashtag #droidrage .
The news caused a lively response from users. Some say - why should victims hand out Windows Phone, have they suffered enough? Others appreciate Microsoft's fat trolling. Indeed, such PR actions can rather be attributed to black PR, because Microsoft is actually pushing users to tell (invent?) Unsightly stories about Android, that is, it warms up a typical FUD campaign against Android. For Microsoft, this is very important, because before viruses and malware in the minds of users were traditionally associated only with Windows.
Interestingly, MS sees Google as its enemy rather than Apple. For example, the SkyDrive mobile application for cloud file storage (25 GB free) was released yesterday, and it works only on Windows Phone and iOS.
