Microsoft's Windows chief, Terry Myerson has slammed Android updates saying that Google does not take responsibility to update customer devices, putting their business at the risk of being compromised.

According to the Verge, Myerson said that Google only "ships a big pile" of code and does not commit to updating users' devices.

However, Myerson did not reveal how Microsoft plans to bypass carriers and deliver regular updates to its Windows 10 phones in future.

Microsoft, with not so perfect history of update, is planning to fix some of that with Windows 10.

Myerson said that the company will not deliver all the updates to customers on a single day of the month.
