SA mobile phone users clueless about their OS

[vicv]

Yep. People see my Samsung and they say, oh is that the S3? So I say no its the Samsung Windows phone. (so their observation was valid, because its pretty much the same body) Then they go "oooohhhhh, ja, but whats the difference?". Then I switch it on and show them the home screen. I still get blank looks.

Before you flame me for having a Windows Phone, its my work dev phone. My other phone is an HTC One ;-)

You get an S3 with WP?

I bet the majority of you people don't know what OS the PS4 or XBox One runs.

I think he's talking about the Ativ S.

is it because most people interviewed had feature phones and don't really know what OS is running on them?

No, it's because most people don't need to know or care.

Probably don't know anything about the software in the cars or microwaves either.

The OS? The company? The USB stick? The PR agency?

My wife did not know that a phone needed an OS to run. When I pointed out the camera, wifi, the apps that tell her she is running late, she was none the wiser

First I've heard of that OS.
