Microsoft se disculpa, entrega una computadora portátil y un teléfono al ganador de #smokedbywindowsphone

After yesterday’s outcry about Microsoft not admitting defeat in a ‘Smoked by Windows Phone’ challenge that Sahas Katta claims to have won, Ben (“The PC Guy”) Rudolp has now taken to Twitter to issue a public apology to the winner, further offering him a free laptop and phone to make up for his original prize.

Unlike some people claimed, Katta, who was able to pull up weather info on his Galaxy Nexus faster than the Microsoft Store employee, did not root his phone or do anything else out of the ordinary, as he clarified in a comment yesterday. Instead, he just disabled the lockscreen, a native feature of Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and one he uses regularly when jogging or hiking, thus beating the Windows Phone ever so slightly.

Si bien felicitamos a Ben y al equipo de Microsoft por la solución rápida y justa, ahora está bastante claro que toda la reacción negativa de relaciones públicas y reacciones negativas de la prensa han costado sus esfuerzos de Windows Phone ligeramente más que los $ 1,000 originales por los que se hizo todo este alboroto.
