quote: NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Software giant Microsoft is taking off the gloves in a full frontal assault aimed at Google's Android marketshare in India with free Windows Phone operating system licenses according to Times of India. Microsoft may have Android in its crosshairs, albeit Apple , and especially BlackBerry will feel more than a pinch.
Microsoft's Indian pricing shift isn't a small trial concept to test the waters. India is the most populous democracy and at 1.2 billion people will soon overtake China to become the most populous country in the world. Microsoft's success in India will undoubtedly shape its pricing strategy around the world.

I guess it's better late than never -- they just need to figure out how to monetize it.
