My fave comment from previous dicussions:

From Google's About page: "Google’s mission is to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful."

Last time when Google was intentionally blocking Google maps and then deprecated ActiveSync on Windows Phone someone suggested Google should updated it to the following:(which seems quite true given how much of the world's crowdsourced video content is on YouTube):

"Google’s mission is to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful, except on Windows Phone".

Well, looking at his previous postings he seems quite the dedicated Google fan and Microsoft hater. Nothing wrong with that, really but my best guess is that he has nothing to say about Google's evil power grab to hurt Windows Phone here or Google's hypocritical bogus Mission Statement, so he's doing the next best thing at damage control for Google by trying to draw a red herring by going ad hominem and accusing HN commenters of being MS astroturfers or something. Search me, I am puzzled as well as how your account age is related to this story.

I think this article is a little bit naive. Google sent the email during IO, because the overwhelming flow of Google news simply obliterates any other news. Nobody cares about a Window Phone app while we are talking about new Android Studio, new Google Map, new G+ interface, new Gmail features, new apis, etc... "Microsoft violated YouTube license? Bad for them, now move on and let's talk about Android game development with Google Play Games". The trap it's defused.

The things I care about seem to be the opposite of the things you care about. For instance, I'm ditching my third and last iPhone today for the Lumia 928 Windows Phone 8.

I'm not speaking about what I care, but about what I think 90% people are caring about now.

I don't think he's a Microsoft hater, he works for them[1].
