I'll bump all the IMPRESSED posts...but here's my take...

As much as its nice to see M$ taking a giant LEAP with WinPho7...they basically closed the book on 6.5 and 6.5.x. All the custom ROM's that we love to run...the custom interfaces...most of those if NOT all will be moot within the next couple of years.

Look at the iPhone...even when jailbroken...and/or with 3rd party skinning...it still LOOKS like the iPhone. I think we just lost an "OPEN" system where there is so much user modification...that as much as we complain about WinMo sucked...we thoroughly enjoy the flashing of ROM's...the bleeding edge software (beta's and alpha's) the newest builds...

I hope PPCGeeks live on after this...and an expanded Android section...because I think Supersonic will be my next device....bye bye Windows Mobile or whatever you call youself!!!=D>

we don't necessarily know that it's all locked up, for all we know we'll still be able to hack/tweak/customize, may not have as much control over it as we used to but it would expect it to be just as hackable as Android or WebOS

People love drama and love to freak out and make everything a big deal.

true, i think it'll come out better than most people are expecting

no problem, they all are really poor in comparison... sorry cooks but as Tuna (bill parcells) once said so eloquently

"if i'm going to be the cook then i want to buy the groceries".

Custom ROMs were sometimes better than the Verizon/Sprint/Att/etc roms... they were not perfect or anything special given the groceries the cooks had to work with.
