ALL WM 6.5 is...is a bunch of guys who didn't know what they were doing that Microsoft hired trying to get 6.5 to look as cool as the people at ppcgeeks made 6.1 look.

You are grossly misinformed. They have not "..fired everybody who worked on it". It was some of the WM7 team's management who has been replaced due to not meeting deadlines and other internal issues, not the WM6.5 one.

Remember, "Photon" aka WM7 has been discussed as in development since 2005. It's a bit behind schedule, which is why WM6.5 even exists. And lets not even pretend that you know who is on the teams, how they are divided up and who is working on what.

Also false. Obviously some of the importance of these will vary, but WM6.5 introduce natively on the device:

• WM Marketplace
• New Home Screen
• New Lock Screen w/notifications
• New Start Menu
• New Internet Explorer
• MyPhone integration
• Significant changes in Virtual memory allocation
• Better power management
• UI and menu changes

In fact, for the end user and consumer, WM6.5 offers a much better out-of-the-box experience than WM6.1 did. Going further, a lot of the changes in WM6.1 were internal and not important to consumers--it was more going after BlackBerry functionality than making an overall better experience.

So you like WM6.1 better than WM6.5. No problem, some still love WinXP over W7, that's fine, we're all entitled to our opinions.

But please don't go around spread false claims or suggesting that WM6.5 offers nothing new to people--it's one of their biggest overhauls in the OS in years and WM6.5.1 goes much further.
