Horrible Endings! (Day 8 of 8)

Microsoft’s Windows Phone 8 Twitter campaign goes horribly wrong. Microsoft launched a Twitter advertising campaign aimed at getting Android users to complain about their devices. However, the company's ploy flopped.

The Internet can be a breeding ground for drama, especially when it comes to social media. Microsoft seems to have learned that the hard way, as its recent Twitter campaign against Android hopelessly backfired. The long-time PC software maker launched a campaign asking Android users to share their malware horror stories via Twitter with the hashtag #DroidRage. In exchange, these tweeters would get the chance to win a new Windows Phone handset. 

Google’s Director of Open Source, Chris DiBona, fired back at Microsoft with the following:

“Wanna see what Flop Sweat looks like? Follow: @WindowsPhone”

Other Twitter users had this to say when it comes to Windows Phone vs. Android.

“Microsoft slamming Android with #DroidRage for malware issues? Have you seen your desktop?” user Apurva Chaudhary tweeted.

Graveyard Bound! (Day 7 of 8)

If you are one of the few surprised by the news that Windows 8 & especially Windows Phone 8 will fail don't be. Microsoft has been down this road many times before.

1. Windows Mobile = Dead

2. Microsoft Kin Phone = Dead

3. Windows Phone 7 = Dead

4. Windows Vista = Dead

5. Zune = Dead

6. ZuneHD = Dead

7. Microsoft Bob = Dead

If you think Windows Vista was a huge failure you ain't seen nothing yet.

Slow Sailing (Day 5 of 8)

As we predicted Windows 8 with its awful Windows Phone tiled interface is destroying Windows sales. Smart Phone buyers have already rejected this interface for over two years and now Windows customers are doing the same. Windows 8 is off to a very slow start, says NPD report. Windows device sales in the U.S. fell 21 percent in the four weeks since Windows 8 debuted, versus sales from a year ago

Only Surface Deep (Day 4 of 8)

Micorsoft touts its Surface tablet as an iPad killer but this is very wishful thinking. It uses the failed tiled interface from Windows Phone. This interface has failed in the market for over two years. Hopefully built in 3G or LTE is not something you looking for because Surface lacks that along with other key features. Like a beautiful woman that is shallow, vain and ungrateful. Look below the Surface to see a product you really don't want.

Reports are starting to come in on the poor build quality of the Surface tablet. The ring of death Deja Vu springs to mind as the rushed hardware is thrown on the market with little to no product testing or reliable Q&A before shipping to customers. Is it a type of "Red Ring of Death" all over again?
