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
