There is a lot that can be read into this. If they are going to continue down both paths it would suggest that WM7 is not going to be very friendly when it comes to backwards compatibility. It doesn't sound good for upgrades either, especially since there has been a great deal of confusion as to whether or not the HD2 will even get an upgrade, and it is pretty commonly accepted that if any WM6.5 devices did get it, the HD2 would be the only one, and that is looking less and less likely all the time. Remeber, HTC Russia announce that the HD2 would get a WM7 upgrade, then very abruptly withdrew that statement. Add to this all the technical aspects, such as a new OS version at the core, and the published minimum hardware specs for WM7....there's not a hope in hell. Supertramp wrote a song about this years ago........

when it comes to the winmo 7 update, hd2 will at least be able to make it work properly. As for windows giving it an official update, who knows. By the time winmo 7 comes people should buy new phones anyways. I can't believe people still make decisions when buying phones hoping they will get the next update on the current device.
