... and we all know how well these limitations held up.

So I'd take things with a grain of salt until the OS is actually released and the geniuses at XDA/PPCgeeks have some time with it.

+1, whatever MS releases it will be hacked and modified.

if in the "third batch" the companies will be able to change the UI, etc... that means the OS should be "hackable" from the outset, and it should not take too long to unlock and hack the phone, especially if the ROM updates will be flashable (if you buy a winmo7 phone in september you should be able to flash an update in a few months?) we'll just have to see I guess.

this is what I'm thinking but the problem is no tools are available. Everything is written for CE 5.2. No programs for CE 6 and up and if there was we would already ripped up and created new hackable roms for the zune hd or heck even the meizu m8.

That said, I think it will take time

cmon. Doesn't anyone stop to think that maybe this wm7 that was described was the "media edition" they mentioned? Where they focus on eye candy, zune - xbox integration, multimedia, and speed? And that all the important features for serious users like multitasking and such will appear on the "business edition"?

my two cents and thoughts

My thoughts exactly Mike, I think they are talking about "Project Pink" or the "Zune Phone". The standard or business edition WM7 will be nothing like what was explained in the previous post(I hope anyway).

Zune should die a horrible death. The xBox thing is very intriguing in my honest opinion because I'm a heavy xBox guy. But from what I heard, I have to agree with the first post.... all of that is turning the f'n phone into a iphone. And if I get any hint of iPhone when I use WP7 for the first time, I will completely turn my back on Windows Phones and I'll just pickup a regular phone. BlackBerry is just uber gay. iPhone is the worst pile of junk I have ever had to touch.... Android.... I'll prob go to a HTC Sense loaded Android. Seems that its the only thing keeping the "Pocket PC" memo.
