the reason it happened is largely irrelevant to my post. the point i was trying to make was in respone to microsoft should stick with 6.5 whic is just riduculous. as much as i love winmo the writing is on the wall. its a sinking ship (outside out ppcg and xda etc.). the general public hasnt adapted it which is what microsoft is after.
just like a sports team if they keep losing and losing game after game, season after season its stupid to think that they should employ the same strategy and it will work. what do they do, bring in a new coach and change everything completly which is exactly what microsoft is doing.
people say if it aint broke dont fix it. well in m$'s case its broken, they could either try to fix it (which theyve tried to do with 6.1, 6.5, 6.5.3 etc) or they can get a new "it" which is what theyre doing.
what i think a lot of people here as well as xda fail to realize is microsoft isnt after our demographic primarily. the overwhwelming population of people that would sign the "boycott" are guys like us, geeks for the most part. the averaqge joe blow off the street doesnt even know what wp7 is yet. thats what they are after, the casual person aka the person whos attarcted to the iphone. while it does suck for people like us its completly understandable and justified.
im looking forward to see if they can pull it off and im exicted for the release of wp7
