Microsoft it again seeks direct confrontation against one of its competitors in the mobile device sector. To the company run by Steve Ballmer It is having a hard time starting in the number of sales with Windows 8 and Surface and it seems that they have chosen to generate controversy with a tweet, something insulting for users convinced of Android, with the aim of achieving some notoriety. Is this a good strategy?
We do not know if it is due to desperation or a kind of eagerness to show a hooligan attitude, but Microsoft has once again lashed out directly against one of its competitors. This time he has done so from his Twitter account, inviting users to report their bad experiences with malware on the platform Android and include the hashtag #DroidRage. The (somewhat free) translation of the tweet could be something like. "Do you have any horror stories with Android malware as the protagonist? tell your best-worst anecdote including the hashtag #DroidRage and we may have a gift for you".
Not the first time Microsoft charge against Android for a similar reason. A couple of weeks ago we echoed some statements of Steve Ballmer in which he accused, on the one hand, Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), due to its enormous control over users and, on the other, the operating system of Google due to its poor reliability in keeping your devices safe. Community Android did not take long to respond and now do it again stating that Microsoft It is not exactly a legitimate brand to accuse anyone of being vulnerable to viruses and infections, and the truth is that they are absolutely right.
Low sales figures for convertible tablets with Windows 8 and his own team, Microsoft Surfaceaccumulated so far may be making the managers of the company a little nervous. Redmond, which seem to be opting for a somewhat twisted path to gain a place in the sector. If they tried to do things a little better for the user, and made an effort to lower the price of their product a bit, they might be able to fish in the traditional PC user, a field where they have a good base from which to depart. However, the option seems to be to fight to steal followers from Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), y Android. We'll see if it works for them.
