Microsoft Makes The Best Mobile OS? Pssshhh.
On Friday we told you folks about a Wall Street Journal readers poll asking who made the top mobile operating system. The options were as follows:
- Apple
- Microsoft
- Palm
- RIM
- Other
After 7,132 votes, Google had captured more than 50% of the votes. Something funny happened over the weekend and we’re getting PhanTips like never before pointing us back to the poll to check out the troubling change. After 26,000+ votes, Microsoft is now in first place with nearly 43% of respondents claiming they make the best mobile operating system.
I’d like to provide a few bullets of my own:
- Are
- You
- Freaking
- Kidding
- Me
- ?
Either there are a lot of old folks who forgot their spectacles and overlooked the word “mobile”, someone is voting with proxies to make the poll seem like a complete farce, or WSJ readers are just plain dumb.
I’m not complaining because Android isn’t #1 and in fact, if Apple, Palm, or RIM wound up in the #1 spot I could understand how it might have happened. But Microsoft? Umm…
No matter how much more I type, we won’t be able to justify or explain-this away. I think I’ll save my breath and let you guys and gals finish it off in the comments.
