no offense to your "close friend in redmond," but they just rebranded windows mobile to windows phone. what part of attempting to breathe new life into their mobile platform says that they will only make 1 more mobile operating system. plus, the market for mobile OSes is so large that you can rest assured windows wants a piece of that pie.
and for those of you who are thinking you want windows phone 7 on your TP2, dont count on it. its just bad business sense. HTC refused to release windows phone 6.5 for the regular touch pro because they wanted you to buy a touch pro 2. the cell phone companies need their contract renewals. the cell phone manufacturers need their revenue from selling phones. they will never let you run the newest OS on a legacy device. thats just silly.
in a few short years the lines between laptop and netbook and cell phone will blur and there will likely be one device to replace them all. so back to your "close friend in redmond." maybe they will only be making 1 last mobile operating system, and they will be moving to a better tablet OS, or something along those lines.
huh. disproving myself once again. im soo good at that.
