But you get the general concern, you get an email with a pdf or word attachment, you open up the attachment while listening to music probably will end something else that's running concurrently. Even placing the cap at two or three processes concurrently is much better then just one. This is a optimized 1Ghz CPU and currently we are able to do this now, with a significantly slower CPU and less ram. This is the best they can come up with in the 4 years of development since the release of the iPhone? For the amount of slamming I do with Apple, they got copy and paste, they are rumored to be getting multitasking in the new release and Microsoft is bringing even less features to the table then that which they are trying to clone. Yet for some reason, everyone is excited and pleased by this. Why?

I truly don't understand why more of you don't get this. What makes your phone different then a PC? Would any of you complain if suddenly Microsoft XP/VISTA/7 turned off the DVD/CD player on your computer. What about not be able to install programs that aren't signed by M$? Prevented you from building OEM equipment like Apple does? Made you activate Windows every time you installed it, even know it's their crappy programing issues that causes the exploits that viruses use and then punished because of a re-install--whoops they do that now, don't they? Would any of you care then, why is the phone any different?

This blind loyalty to M$ just kills me!
