A more appropriate annalogy would have been...would you go back to 95 or 98 on your XP laptop? I wouldn't think so.

Would you go to WinCe 2.1 on your WM 6.1 phone? Probably not either.

Furthermore would you want XP or even Vista on a Mac? They're two totally different platforms. It would be pointless to go through the pains of doing that and for minimal results. You'd be missing a crapload of drivers, half the hardware wouldn't work with it, so on so forth. I just think it's a bad idea overall to take a PDA Phone to try this out and basically brick it because there would be no way any of the phone functions would work. But if you have a spare PPC phone and want to do that then go right ahead.

As I saw it they have spare Dell PDAs and other such devices they're trying this on most likely because one of those would run you anywhere from $40+ instead of the $300+ that a PDA phone would cost you (without a plan). I'd be very careful what you try with this outside of the emulation that they talk about.
