How is this statement a compliment to Microsoft? This says to me that they don't know what they are doing and that doesn't inspire any confidence in me.
Let's review the past few years:
WM 6.X: successful but abandoned anyway
Photon: abandoned unknown reason
Kin: failed/abandoned $240 million write off
WP7 ??? time will tell/where are the CDMA carriers?
If WP7 is just the new name for Photon, that means it took Microsoft 4+ years to come out with an OS that needs another 5+ years to fine tune. Again, doesn't make me all warm and tingly inside.
So many reason to sit this launch out and see what happens in the next year or so...
