6.5 is really a great job done for Microsoft. They really have done a lot of great things around the UI, but I still can't wait for WM7.

I agree, what it looks like and what I hope for, is that this is the front end makeover to get the people to stay interested in the platform visually, and what I really hope is that the backend gets an entirely new look in WinMo 7. Right now with the middleground of "well it still has tabs, but you can switch the tabs by swiping your finger" and "we have put a bit of padding around everything so you can touch it with your fingers and don't usually need the stylus" are nice things. I applaud them for realizing and coming up with a new way to do it, but in the future, please take a look at some of your control panels and make them look behave and feel more like the new PIE interface.
Also, I know newer phones have more memory, and there are third party solutions to solve the problem, and a built in solution through Task Manager, but could you please by default offer an exit menu item, or closing the application rather than just hiding it in the background. I understand when my music player has to keep playing, but so far as I know nothing too active is ever going on with internet explorer that you can't just save state, and shut down.
The new slider menu as the default is nice, but I wish it could be in some way incorporated with 3rd party addons. It is either the new menu or nothing by default, and if you even want to use a weather addon, you have to load all of your others too cause you can only use one or the other. This is sad, they could have easily given developers a way to add on to this, and maybe they have and I just haven't looked into it enough.
Overall, aside from some memory issues I have had and dealt with, this seems to be a solid OS, and will suffice until 7 comes out, or I buy something else I like better.
