I think that this is going to further the reputation damage for trusting Google with anything.

The fact that this was handled on such short notice is a huge problem, but who is going to want to invest in another Google technology with such a risk?

See also, trusting Microsoft with a new UI technology and how their reputation in this area is really bad.

Don’t forget Windows Phone!

I have been thinking about this topic a lot recently, since I’ve been considering a move from Android to iPhone (mainly for privacy reasons). Microsoft could’ve been on equal footing with Apple and Google in mobile, but they repeatedly blew their chances (through mismanagement?)
