I pick up my windows phone 7.5 and I see live tiles filled with info. Like all phones I see what calls, messages, and mail I have gotten, right. On windows phone though I see what my schedule is for the day, the actual weather and not just a picture of the sun, what notifications and new things are going on with friends. This is just the stock apps that come with the device, and the best thing is any app can utilize live tiles.
I am a firm believer in windows phone and windows 8 simply because of live tiles. This sole feature is what has made me switch from an iphone 4 to a windows phone 7.5 htc trophy.

There is no true informative content on either of these OS's, ( android has some but to even utilize multiple apps widgets you really need a tablet).

Looking towards the new OS, being windows phone 8, I only have great things to say such as the new home screen that uses every pixel of space along with new resizeable tiles that let you decide what info is the most important to you. And to the people who say that there windows phone is slow, what the hell are you doing to your phone? My iphone 4 would slow down constantly but I literally have not had one problem with slowness or input lag.

Call me a MS fanboy but I really am a person that tries every OS, hear me out. I have a macbook pro with mountain lion bootcamped with windows 7, I used to have a iphone 4 before the pos cracked on me, and lastly I have a htc android tablet. I am just not getting where all this bashing is coming from...

They are called widgets and they do the same things you talk about. A picture of the sun? The weather here is mostly sunny with a high of 74 and low of 54. The temperature is currently 72. That is the information I get from just looking at my home screen on my Droid X2. By tapping that sun I get an overlay instantaneously that tells me the whole weeks forecast and more detailed information about today's, such as wind speed, sunrise/sunset times, storm chance, and what the temperature feels like. Tapping it again makes it disappear. I don't use schedule apps and widgets, but they are available stock on pretty much all android devices, and they're are droves of them on the Google Play marketplace, along with MILLIONS of other social, media, utility, financial, RSS, mail, etc. widget apps. And guess what? You can re size widgets and put them on different screens in according to which information you think is most important to you. Gee whiz isn't that nifty?
I can understand somewhat your frustration of people blindly bashing WP as a platform. However, I would appreciate it if you wouldn't misrepresent other platforms as you clearly have no idea what you are talking about.
