WSJ readers believe that Microsoft has the best mobile operating system, followed by Google, and then Apple in a distant third place.

BlackBerry maker RIM fired back at Apple, saying it thinks "many customers are getting tired of being told what to think by Apple." The statement comes in response to comments from Apple's Steve Jobs saying that RIM is out of its comfort level in unfamiliar territory. At the same time, Google is chiding Apple for its closed operating system while Android invites participation. Who's right? What's the best system, technologically? For consumers?

We aren't really sure how this result is possible considering that Microsoft only just released Windows Phone 7; however, the company has managed to capture 41.7% of the vote.

This WSJ report has no credibility. WP7 has only been out days and hasn't been tested world wide on all the phone platforms, on the servers it's meant to be designed for, so where does the analysis come from? The back pocket?? Did someone pay for this survey?? WP7 hasn't got multitasking or cut & paste but it still out ranks Android and iOS??? REALLY??

I think those really super smart readers are confusing PC operating systems with mobile OS.

Not even (I think even OS-X is better than Windows, or at least it is not substantially worse). I think these people meassure quality of an OS by its marketing/add budget... That's the only aspect of an OS they are able to understand... :-(
