I don't think it will flop i do believe that a few people have opinions and expectations that are too high. Understand the situation. Microsoft is not in the business of making software ridiculous right out the box, they are there to give developers and designers the ability to make the the product for us. As such, given their past, WM7 will be their top of the line chassis but the expectation of the phone is that the developers will take it and run. This is why windows is what it is. My only expectation is they decrease the clutter involved in creating for the OS. I hate that companies like HTC have to create their own proprietary system to keep u out of windows rather than windows being flexible enough to accept what users/developers want and have that as the standard. There is no need for there to be HTC SMS and then still have the ability to delve into standard windows SMS...thats 2 programs 4 no reason same can be said for settings, calendar, and other basic function, this eats a lot of much desired space. HTC et al, should be able to develop whatever programs they want, and it should be fully intergrated and effectively replacing the basic windows app, not coexisting. If we had that in the beginning we wouldn't need or be waiting for windows 7.
Thats the beauty of the Iphone, it really is whatever u want it to be...but the Iphone is made by apple so it doesn't have to cater to developers..only itself so of course it can make the perfect OS. Windows has a higher expectation, it has to make a simple system that can be taken and modified by Motorola, HTC, Samsung, Acer, Toshiba, and other developers....this is why u guys should lower ur expectation, in order to please everyone u can only provide so much and let them do what they will.
