Its the zune interface with tiles, its like a titanium/zune/blur/webos/android/iphone os mash-up. Again this os is aimed to contend with those other os' but we have to be honest...it copies alot from them, its mostly a clone of their features with a little microsoft flavor added in. Its hard to get excited about another os especially one that starts all the way over,negates all past apps and brings nothing new to the table. There's really no eye candy, its just a plain vanilla os. Is this to help make it fast and maintain stability? Also they want to encourage innovation with phone manufactures? How will they do that if they cant do anything to the software? I mean htc makes sexy hardware but i like sense and enjoy touchflo. How will these companies differentiate themselves from one another? This leaves opportunity for that lame android to grow & prosper. I'm hoping this "legacy" version that ive recenly heard about is more like the previous versions(roms,custom ui's etc) and not just windows phone 7 with the business features added.

And again, nothing is going to stop Android from growing including winmo. It's already been projected that within a year Android will have the second largest marketshare behind Nokia based off of their current growth. Trust, Android is just getting started and wont be going anywhere. And whenever that Supersonic comes to Sprint I will be getting one.. thought about the Nexus but dont wanna go to T-mobile to get it.
