This is a really great lively thread. Way too many good comments & views to quote & respond to directly. A few common feelings here: 1) We're long time (pre smartphone)handheld users. 2) We love this o/s or we wouldn't be here. 3) We're PO'd w/ MS, handset mfgr's & the telcoms for the major abandonment. . The question is: besides vent, (which is helpful) what can/are we going to do about it? Here's something I'd like to see: Sure, fold WinMo into Windows Embedded, but also, end what amounts to a reverse boycott of their own customer base. There is a sizeable market out here for this o/s (along w/ all the others including WinPhone) to be run on robust, feature packed hardware. I suggest we form an advocacy group or whatever would accurately describe us. Let's some how tie such a thread in w/ the other sites out there (to numerous to mention here). Let's demonstrate that there are real & marketable needs for WinMo and it's continued development still. - Thanks for the space.
