Unlike Apple’s Steve Jobs and Sony’s Howard Stringer, Microsoft is taking a friendly approach to fix the exploits existing in Windows Phone 7 OS.
Both Apple and Sony, this new and friendly approach taken by Microsoft with hackers looks promising for the community, and it will surely help Windows Phone 7 as a platform to grow more rapidly.
