But putting this OS as 7 does not look good.
How would you feel if windows 8 comes out and your OS is one used on a 20$ barby computer? That is what makes most people bitter. The brand "Windows" in general should be associated with a PC, not a dumbphone.
And some people claim there will be media edition and business edition but I find that hard to believe as that would make a lot of confusion, more then people would like.

Its an insult to our collective intelligence, really. Even on the video the guy is saying this new version is not aimed at business users, but at everyone else. Translation: "Since you're all too stupid to operate regular Windows Mobile, here's a much more idiot-friendly version for ya!"
They need to release this as a separate 'consumer edition' & keep the classic version for people who need more than just a glorified Sidekick.

A lot of people think that Windows 7 is that OS...
I think you're confusing the difference between complicated/old and something that is well designed. Fully Functional != Complicated
