>>Well that's not true. The difference is that Microsoft never pretended to be open. << Google did pretend to be open but that as almost everyone knew from the beginning was BS. We don't know what concessions Nokia received to customize their devices on MS's OS but it would appear they received some. I'll take Elsop at his word about having concerns where Android is headed. I guessing he felt more comfortable having some control with MS than Google/Android. It certainly seems Android has been getting considerably less open, not just for the purpose of avoiding fragmentation but also to protect Google business interests. I don't think this will have a happy ending for major OEMs who trusted Google. I guess they had no choice.
