Heck, Between MS, the manufacturers, and the carriers, they could shut down about 90% of what we do with the ROMs and porting the software to phones they never intended it for. But they don't since we:
- Provide them with a valuable resource that maybe, just maybe MS in particular seems to be listening too
- Beta Testing, however unofficial
- We're the biggest cheerleaders for WM phones out there
- How many developers do we support as customers, keeping a steady flow of new ideas and cash coming
- Most of us change phones much more rapidly than is the norm. Would we keep doing that if MS & company drove us underground or stomped us out of existence? Why kill a steady source of revenue and a core user group at the same time.
