[QUOTE="Mike, post: 603911, member: 1"] Unfortunately, Microsoft's legal team has petitioned for Google to remove our Android app from the Google Play store. This was a free app designed to provide support to our visitors and members. I am working quickly to try to resolve this issue with Microsoft Corporation. In the past, we have dealt with a number of issues regarding our mobile presence, including the demand of a name change to "Forums for Windows", a change in logo, a change back to WindowsForum.com - Forums for Windows. I am looking into this as a top priority. Apologies to all Google Play people who wanted to download the app at this time. Normally, our relations with Microsoft are good, but there has been a campaign, not revealed to the public of this forum, to, essentially, neuter these apps to public exposure by renaming them and rebranding them. I am looking to see what can be done on our end to work with Microsoft's legal team to meet their extraordinary requirements. I have notified our administrative team and our entire staff of this issue, and we will use all of our effort to resolve this problem. [/QUOTE]
