My innovation scale also coincides with being open source (os wise not apps) android, winmo then osx

I by no means have ANY programming abilities so the following might not be completely accurate but:
Aren't the developers crippled by the new approval process? Microsoft is only giving programmers access to certain parts of the phones OS and not native mode. This "frontend" is what you must program in, say, Silverlight for example, if the APIs you need aren't available for you to use then your program is going to have limitations or not work correctly. I have no idea what you have access to or not but I seriously doubt that Microsoft is going to allow anymore core level apps then Apple does. I'm not holding my breath for wifofum, tethering (wireless or wired) and so on. Microsoft might not require women clothed in burqas (like Apple does) before an app is approved, but will still restrict all that you see in the Cydia store, and forget emulators altogether unless officially licensed which alone is a deal breaker for me...
