thefearfulsilence, 15 Feb 2015Nice idea on paper but aren't they just swapping Samsung bloat for Microsoft bloat. It still ... moreThis is mostly because of Google actually. It's all or nothing, and nothing means no Google Play Store. Though being able to disable the apps is good enough really.

    Anonymous, 16 Feb 2015Nooo, Microsoft ones are about as useless, MAYBE except Office, although it sucks on Android. ... moreHardly forced when you can disable the app. Besides OneDrive has free 30GB, plus the BEST web apps.

            Nice idea on paper but aren't they just swapping Samsung bloat for Microsoft bloat. It still doesn't address the doubling up next to the native Googleapps either. For example my S5 is pre loaded with Dropbox and Drive. Google Now and S Voice, Galaxy Apps and Google Play and Amazon Apps, Google Music Player and Samsung Music, Chrome Web Browser and Stock Android Browser etc etc. Then there's EEs bloatware on top of all that. I think this needs addressing more than adding in a load of Microsoft bloat.
            Would have been nice to at least get a Google Play Edition S5 in the UK.

Samsung can never afford Microsoft, they don't have enough money. They should think of buying Xiaomi instead before Xiaomi buys them.

                          Nioni, 13 Feb 2015Good joke and apple copying meizu so shut upApple didn't just copy Meizu, they copy/steal from every one. They didn't invent anything really. They just make it prettier and even manage to patent some of them, then sell it to heavily brain washed people.
