>windows phone is a bit crappy

I think it is rising up, especially in the Asian market. From the business point of view, the best thing they did was to partner with Nokia. If it wasn't for Lumia, I don't think I would got a windows phone.

>Why Microsoft is involved I don't know.

I think it has more to do with "the enemy of my enemy is my friend". They hold the grudge against Google for cutting windows phone from Youtube Api, Google Maps, Calender, the whole exchange debacle.. etc. I hate all these corporate fights, because at the end its not them but us who lose the most.
