Yeah, they could learn a lot from the work and ideas in these boards and xda. As for WM7 release, it should RTM 1st half of next year, and we should begin to see the first devices around fall. It's a long way away, which is pretty sad. That said, I find it highly unlikely anyone will be porting it to 6.5 anytime soon. I imagine most devs here and at XDA will wait for WM7 to leak and rip the versions from there to port to 6.5. If it's at all possible.
