Xbox Live Gold can be free if you just make Bing your primary search engine

With most of Microsoft's attempts to copy something more popular (reminds me of the Zune or w.e it is) they generally give up... it's weird that they're still trying to push Bing on everyone.

I have a Zune from back in the day which I use in my car, and I still think its 100x better than iPod. I haven't had a single problem with it in almost 10 years (while my iPod died after about three years) and the Zune software is millions of times better and less restrictive than iTunes. Its actually sad that they stepped out of the race so soon when they had a clearly superior product. 

I have a Windows phone I bought for like $40 just to see how they work. Frankly, its a really good phone for the price and performs better than any Android phone with similar specs. The only reason I can't use it over Android is the marketplace sucks in comparison.

If Windows phones had app support at par with Android though, I would switch. I feel like that's the primary reason Windows phone didn't do well.

People focus on the failures without acknowledge they were actually solid products.
