yeah. Microsoft came back a couple months later with attempting to bring ads

So my point still stands, and is correct.  It started off on a bad foot and from there Google was just a jerk.

By Blackberry's logic, all apps made for Mac, Windows, and Linux should also be made for the rest as well.

it started off with Microsoft publishing an app. Microsoft took it down and improved it and re-released it with ads in place and google was still acting like a baby. I've said this before and i'll say it again. Microsoft attacks google as a company(scroogle campaign); google attacks microsoft's customers.

They should ask all those Fart apps developers for advice.

That's because no one uses Windows Phone. Just get used to it already. 

 

That was the argument, but then when you look at Windows 8, which has (at a minimum) that magical 10% market share people say they need before they get Google apps, Google still hasn't created any apps for that either besides the same crummy search app you have on Windows Phone.

 

It's a strategic and anti-competitive move on their part, not a market share issue. Microsoft offered to create, and actually created, a superior Youtube experience for Windows, but Google shot it down.

 

As long as Google continues behaving like the Microsoft of the 90s, I will not support them.

10% isn't all that appealing. Also, it's misleading. Cause only a fraction of that 10% even uses the Metro apps regularly. Most on their computers use a Browser, and Google has one that works just fine. The Search and other Metro Apps are just novelties.

 

Also, Google wants you to get your but onto Youtube in a Browser. That's the experience they want you to have.
