A Microsoft elnézést kér, laptopot és telefont oszt ki a #smokedbywindowsphone győztesnek

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.

Miközben dicsérjük Bent és a Microsoft csapatát a gyors és tisztességes megoldásért, mára teljesen világos, hogy az egész PR-hátrány és a sajtó negatív reakciói a Windows Phone-os erőfeszítéseikbe kerültek némileg több, mint az eredeti 1,000 dollár, amely miatt ez az egész felhajtás zajlott.
