Windows 8, ASUS and Android shtuff.

These days there are SO MANY different companies making electronic devices such as phones, tablet, 'phablets' smart watches, etc.

I am here today to talk about some specifics: Android 5, Windows 8 and of course the one to get both of those OS's first....ASUS.

I mainly wanted to discuss some of the controversy and lack of ethics on the corporations end.

Figure#1:
Android is fast growing. So fast, that most device manufacturers can't keep up with the changes in software or they just can't manage to run the OS properly on whatever CPU the device has. It's a total mess. If the corporations would work together to make all of the devices compatible or equally able to run AndroidOS, things would be amazing. My 'outdated' smartphone would then be able to run Android 4.0. But NO, they insist on being difficult....
And then there is this whole Android 5 thing! AOS 4.0 isn't even on 15% of 'droid devices yet!! I disapprove personally. I think they need to stabilize the current versions with the current devices and THEN release the new OS. 

Figure#2:
Windows...ah Windows. We all love you except those who don't.
I have always been Windows fan, and not just because it's what I was raised on. It's simply my style. Mostly. If I was able, I would change some of the interface options and ability, but that's only because I am a huge sci-fi tech geek.
The new Windows OS: Windows 8 has received many responses. Some good, some not so good.
Most of the good responses were just people getting excited about something new and mobile. Same ol' same ol'. The bad responses(totally valid too) were mostly people complaining that it will take away from the Windows feel, that if they are going to make a mobile OS, keep it separate like they did with WP7.

My personal response to this issue: I agree with both sides. That's pretty much all I can say.

Thoughts? Did I get my facts wrong? Mess something up? Make a typo(God forbid...)?
Anyways, just let me know what you think on these topics.
