Re: Microsoft issues take down notice for WM6.5.1 ROMs

This is interesting. It's like they feel as though everyone has beta tested 6.5.1 enough and it's time to say "hey thanks for working for us for free on this, but eat crap"

I do wonder though, if our computers were the same way, would we feel right about installing windows 7 when our computer came with XP? :/

Re: Microsoft issues take down notice for WM6.5.1 ROMs

Did someone cry wolf? As much as it seems the companies would like to stop releases of these they can't afford to. As it was posted earlier in this thread they look at all the development and testing done here and use it to try and better the products. Ok well maybe they can afford to but it would make no sense.

The intellectual property however is not with us. The ROMs are intellectual property of the producers of the phone or the mobile phone providers if it concerns branded telephones. We simple only deliver the OS.”

Re: Microsoft issues take down notice for WM6.5.1 ROMs

I am curious why would Microsoft give freely SDK tools and then if we choose to use them creatively they would choose to shut down all the free beta test and guinea pigs who load it and either like it or request fixes pretty cheapway for R +D. with no recourse.

I tend to believe this to be boggess

Link to SDK tools and Emulators free to download and use freely

Also Windows Moblie Dev Center

Re: Microsoft issues take down notice for WM6.5.1 ROMs

I agree that it would be suicide for Microsoft to do that...a HUGE portion of their base uses custom roms and other stuff mostly since the fact that the devices we get are so limited...doing that would be equivalent to saying "Swap to android"... Theoretically speaking its these windows mobile communities that made WM what it is today.

Re: Microsoft issues take down notice for WM6.5.1 ROMs

ICANN is no longer under full US jurisdiction, and as such, the DMCA no longer applies to it.

It's bogus anyway.
