Google Vs Windows Competition Taking A New Turn

As far as technology is concerned, competition is always tough. Unlike small business firms, competitions faced by big software giants are unpredictable. They need to be focused and should have foresight to anticipate the moves from their competitors and only this strategy could help them to face the risks.

As you are aware, Microsoft and Google are competitors and it is quite obvious if the competition is taking a new turn. As per the recent news, people using Windows Phone could bid goodbye to the Google Voice apps as Google has decided to bring something new and the terms and services of Google are new as well.

As per recent updates, May 15, 2014 will be considered as the last date of usage of Google Voice apps on Windows Phone. But there are other loopholes for accessing Google Voice on mobile web even though it is not a preferred method. Even though the new move from Google is due to their competition spirit, they have a different explanation regarding the same.

According to Nikhyl Singhal of Google, “Finally, we want to make Google Voice as secure as possible. There are a few third-party applications that provide calling and SMS services by making unauthorized use of Google Voice. These apps violate our Terms of Service and pose a threat to your security, so we’re notifying these app developers that they must stop making unauthorized use of Google Voice to run their services and transition users by May 15, 2014.“

The new decision of Google will definitely affect the people using Windows Phone for accessing Google apps and they might treat Windows Phone as a less secure platform due to the initiative taken by Google. There are people who dial Windows support number and enquire about the credibility of Windows phone.

Normally, a single number is offered to users by Google Voice, which you can share with your family and friends. You could use this number for any type of phone no matter whether it is your landline or cell phone. Your number will also be secured by Google Voice if you do not want it to be displayed.

Other than ending support for Google Voice over Windows Phone, Google is also dropping Exchange ActiveSync. From all these moves, we can definitely get to a conclusion that the competition is quite tight and Microsoft should have to think about new plans to face the competition. We can definitely expect more people to contact Microsoft by dialing the Windows support number and they would definitely enquire about the fate of Google Voice in Windows phones.
