"A duh, Sony had the common sense to partner with a runner up but MS is just not going to get anywhere "

Sony didn't "partner" with anyone. They grabbed a free copy of Android and off they went making phones. Luckily for the OEMs like Sony and HTC, Android and Windows phone OS exist as they would be absolutely murdered by Apple if they had to come up with an operating system for their phones themselves. Only HP/Palm and maybe Nokia would stand a chance against Apple without Android and WP7 OS.

I think having the android app store along side pssuite on the psphone qualifies as partnered 

The term "partnered" means that both parties have a stake in the final product and both support for it. Google does not have direct support, service or warranty for any android OS device that is put on any phone. Its all on the manufacturers shoulders...

Maybe that is why Apple is able to sue Samsung and HTC and Microsoft is suing everyone using Android for patent issues. 

Who brought up google?

You did by saying Sony "partnered up" with Android. Guess who makes Android?

How is the andriod ap store not direct support?

Cause if andoid app store goes down, blows up your phone, kidnaps your new born child...etc...Google is not responsible for it. Its there, for free for anyone that wants to grab it, so essintially microsoft could make a dual boot windows phone/Android handset with access to android app store if they wanted to. I wish they did actually...
