I cannot believe that Mucrosoft would shoot itself in the foot this way, when it needed to build goodwill with its customer base the most right now.
They should have made a point of saying that Microsoft would protect its customers for privacy issue and then follow through. It might have helped it increase its phone share as well if it had done that.
You would think there is a market for that kind of focused approach to privacy but the lack of entry seems to refute that. I guess there is more money in selling customer data than in selling to a mostly ignorant public.
I do have to say that the Nokia Lumina with Windows mobile OS is actually pretty good. Very responsive and easy to use.

You have nailed it. What was Microsoft thinking? The only goodwill they are building is with our new improved police state.
