Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 have been just released and you have maybe already noticed lack of participation from one of the biggest companies, Google. And if you were hoping that Google is working on that, you are mistaken. Google has chosen not to develop for Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8.



Main reason is straightforward, because they want don't want to invest their energy for a platform that doesn't receive much interest. While this may not be a big deal for Windows 8 users, where you can simply access all the Google services via web browser, Windows Phone 8 users on the other hand will continue to get less of the Google experience due to a lack of proper dedicated apps for Gmail, Google Maps, YouTube, Google Drive, etc.

Engadget has posted an interesting article about a question if Windows Phone has even a chance without a Google.

I would not buy a phone without Google maps for sure. I hope they found some solution. I think Nokia could be also worried and maybe they will switch to plan B.

Plan B means Android: http://goo.gl/5VjQT

With that decision Google can become even stronger and without competition also gain monopoly. That is also bad for customers and health. Google is great but our nature is not!
