All serious Android uses will be using Quadcores and above now anyway.

Second, Android 5.0 is out soon and fixes all the issues only WP and iOS fans seemed to complain about.

LG will only be releasing a WP8 to prove that know one wants them.

And maybe Microsoft is gently forcing them.

Ubuntu is already an existing alternative to Windows 8, so I hope Sony and Samsung and... soon start preinstalling Ubuntu, not W8, on their new laptops...!

It would make sense for LG to ensure it has a place at the Windows Phone table. I would expect Sony will follow suit sometime in 2014, not least since the company is already committed to the Windows eco-system through its laptop and desktop ranges.
