I can see why they are releasing an android/iphone type of operating system is to try to appeal to non-business users. Forever now msoft has only appealed to business users and they did a great job at that. But now they are trying to get into the mass market because of fordnfishin's great example of mobile devices becoming the new notebooks that people carry around. Although i can somewhat agree on what msoft is doing doesn't mean I like it. I think that they are going towards the iphone/android business practices too much from what the consumer is used to with windows mobile of downloading a program that isn't from msoft and install it. but who knows i am just a regular user and not seeing the whole picture. I certainly hope that they can find a common ground to the (potentially) new as well as old users of windows mobile. The biggest reason why I am not going to windows mobile 7 (besides having to purchase a new phone) is the lack of any support for older programs. I spent quite a lot of money over the years on the programs that I use all of the time and don't plan on spending that much plus for those programs again (assuming that they come out for windows 7).
