XDA is likely down today because of the free publicity it received on gizmodo.com today.

Mmm, missed that! Pity it's keeled over with the shock of it all (I remember the days when XDA-Dev got 100 or so user at a time, now it's nearer 5000). Still PPC Geeks can fill that gap admirably.

You obviously know more than me - "uncertain doom pending" what does that mean?

Yes I know what you are referring to now. The problem of ROMs being hosted on XDA originally but now just linked to on things like Rapidshare.

However M$ are reasonable enough that they first of all make requests to the site Admins if there is something they don't like. A pretty co-operative relationsip has existed.

Actually, I have formed the impression that both HTC and M$, although we may annoy them at times, do appreciate that sites like XDA-Dev (and PPCGeeks) actually stimulate the market. Better that folk are buying your phones even i they muck around with them, than that nobody is interested enough to buy them at all.

Who knows, maybe we even give them a few ideas for developments in software. There is some evidence for this.
