Don't get me wrong, I still love my TP2, X50v, and any other WinMo device that comes out. But I welcome a change in OS that continues with a windows touch but offers much more complete app development, support, quality, and speed. Though we have a lot of apps, the quality of build of most of them I feel has been sliding downhill for a few years now. With WP7, we get a clean slate people. A great starting point for all the devs to truly make great apps on great hardware. WP7 isn't killing WinMo. That much is certain.

You do know that WP7 and winmo are different OS right? WP7 is aimed at the iphone market with a locked down OS and general consumer...Winmo is an enterprise OS which focuses on giving the use a PC in their pocket...M$ stated themselves that they have no interest in the winmo way of things in the new OS...
We don't mind if M$ released a 2nd OS aimed at consumers and kept winmo alive...but by what they did they pretty much said "winmo is dead" by calling it windows phone 7....winmo did not NEED to die M$ was just afraid of releasing a new OS and ppl claiming it to be a 1st version..so they decided to overlap the branch to make ppl think its 7th version and a mature OS...which it is not....
