    Poor windows... already a minority, still been targeted for malware. I wonder its is hard for the hacker to find those windows phone users in the wild.

                      Not sure which is worse, using android and have Carrier IQ track your usage or using windows and having this happen. Chances are this WP7 thing will never happen to me though. There's a better chance the government will track and android user.
