Microsoft se ispričava, dijeli laptop i telefon pobjedniku #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.

Iako pohvaljujemo Bena i tim u Microsoftu za brzo i pošteno rješenje, sada je prilično jasno da je cijela reakcija PR-a i negativne reakcije tiska koštali su truda za Windows Phone malo više od originalnih 1,000 dolara oko kojih se digla sva ova galama.
