Re: Which OS are you switching from for the EVO?

I don't know if I can officially say I will be switching from WM because I may end up using my TP2 from time to time. Same thing I did when I had a Pre and an iPhone, I switched it up. Nonetheless, put me down for WM.

Their target demographic is obviously high school kids now instead of business professionals, hackers, and gadget addicts. They hit a home run with Windows 7, but WP7 is just fail.

It's a shame, but thankfully Android is our savior.
IMHO, I don't think WP7 is going after high school students. The new Metro UI is very clean and professional. I think the UI looks very simple and conducive to getting things done, and may have a strong attraction towards business users even moreso than the current platform. It is hard for me to say either way what I think of the OS and I will not make my final call until I try it out for myself.
