Also, from everything I've read so far, multitasking has either been removed altogether or severely limited. I love multitasking. I have multiple programs open at any given time & I am not willing to give that ability up. I say its dumbed down because the guy in the youtube video says its not aimed at business users, but *average* users, and there's an emphasis on social networking & games & media. Its like they're trying to veer away from the pocket PC genre, and I don't like that. I DO want a mini-computer in my pocket, I don't wanna have to carry my laptop around everywhere. Portable computing is the whole reason I got into PDAs & smartphones to begin with.
I admit- I don't know the intimate details of 7 yet, and it might not be as bad as it looks. But so far it seems like they're trying to counter Apple & go the 'Zune phone' route. Do. Not. Want.
I'm just hoping they're simply ADDING 7 to their lineup as an option, and not trying to replace good old WinMo with it...

yeah maybe if i invested money into apps then i mite be mad, but at the same time i would replace them with better things, we can only play classics on Nintendo for so long until ps3 comes with bigger & better things no matter how much money i had invested in my first xbox (i had lots) i still didnt value it as much when the 360 came yeah sure i wish they had certain games for for it but now looking back i cant even tell u what they were because what i have now makes them a after thought & as far as where ever u saw that they said that its for average users, ive seen the opposite where M$ says they went to businesses & asked what did they want..they could have been lying & put out what they wanted but @ least they have ya'll in mind & i realize that u dont really see wp7 as a upgrade so some of the stuff i said mite not apply & also if u dont know anything bout games then it mite not make any sense
