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.

Okay so I was wrong about which specific people they fired. Doesn't change the fact that I was right, and that they had no idea what they were doing and got fired.

WM Marketplace, New IE, and the MyPhone App, might be a part of the new "WM experience" (if you can even call it that) but they are NOT a part of WM and are NOT new changes to windows mobile itself, just apps.
Power management and virtual memory allocation might improve the speed of the phone a little but, but def. not enough to make it a worthy upgrade.
The new start menu, a lock screen, and the other UI changes are WHY THOSE PEOPLE WERE FIRED. Because these upgrades suck, and the UI "changes you speak of" are not changes, they are giant mistakes.

First of all not it doesn't provide a better experience out of the box because there's no box for it to come out of. It's barely been released and only on a few phones at that. The only reason you might find it to have a better look and feel out of the box is because of somebody's custom rom, not a build you found online and threw it on your phone fresh with no mods....Oh but who does that we all use custom roms here...EXACTLY.

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.

If it's one of their biggest overhauls in years then they sure look stupid.
