Microsoft to Delete Apps on Windows Mobile Devices Banned from Marketplace

You thought Amazon was bad with the Kindle? Well, it sounds like Microsoft (NSDQ: MSFT) will be retaining the right to remotely delete Windows Mobile applications that were downloaded through the Marketplace, but were consequently banned. This isn’t just a good recipe for irate customers, but also developers who are spending $99 for five app submissions, plus extra for international submissions. Of course, we don’t know how often that will happen in practice, since we’re waiting on the Windows Marketplace for Mobile, but if a remote kill switch is, in fact, currently set up, it could potentially become a serious PR headache.

IF I downloaded something and paid for it, and some wet behind the ears deleted it from my phone, I would contact the securitities and exchange department, to pursue a class action cease and desist motion against Microsoft.
They have no right to delete something that I paid for, in my own device; and they seem to be taking on the Barack Osama opinion that they are GOD.
They need to be held accountable for their mental and personality shortcomings.
Don’t you agree that it’s high time that they were held accountable? Or, are they actually GOD?
