Microsoft's new mobile strategy is the core of cooperation on the hardware manufacturers of quality control. On Android, Google is only responsible for the development of the operating system, and then let the manufacturer to manufacture product; Microsoft has requirements for hardware manufacturers to meet a series of harsh conditions, in order to run Windows 7 Phone.

For example, if you want to pick up Windows 7, mobile Phone must have three standard physical keys, also require a Microsoft-sponsored a series of tests.
