They’ve generally been better than Apple in that respect. And just because its closed-source doesn’t make it unhackable 🙂
What worries me more is the walled-garden approach to Metro(sexual) apps, though it’s apparently not too difficult to side-load.

Windows Phone 8 will not work on older devices

I laughed so hard I think I pee’d myself.
That’s not too surprising. WP8 is using a different kernel. They’re migrating to NT kernel. Which is why they’re not supporting old devices. But they’re giving old devices WP7.8, which should have a lot of the WP8 features except for the kernel. That’s better than Google I’d say. Google drop support for their own Nexus One in less than 2 years. It’s worse for other OEM.
