Yeah, I bash 7 a lot, cause I think it's a horrible direction for MS to take WinMo in. It makes me angry that they're effectively downgrading what is, IMO, the most powerful mobile OS ever, simply to appeal to n00bs. I wouldn't say I HATE it really, simply because I HAVE never tried it. But, I don't have to try a BlackBerry or drive a Pinto to know I'll hate being stuck with one of those too. Based on what I've seen so far, 7 looks pretty damn lame.

The difference here, though, is that I don't go into the WP7 forums(not that any even exist yet to my knowledge) & bash it to all the people who like it. I don't say stuff like 'everyone who likes WP7 needs to shut up and move on!' or anything to that nature. Not saying that's exactly what YOU say, but that's how you come off sometimes.

I'm exiting this thread as well. Arguing is ghey.

It happens all the time when a new better technology comes... its so hard for people to accept it...
But once they do...Rest is history...
When 7 will be here..ppcgeeks will be also around but rather than "cooking" to get a decent performance from our device we all will be talking about how our 7 is finally kicking some ass!

OK. I know I said I was outta here, but this just gets me. New does NOT always equal better. Case in point- VISTA. I can't stand this ridiculous attitude so many people have that old = CRAP and new automatically means better. Yeesh.

WP7 is hard to accept(at least for me) because it is a step BACKWARDS. They are removing features & imposing new limits. I don't know about you, but that is not my definition of 'better'.

I'm with you on this. I've been using Windows Mobile since the first Pocket PC came out 10 years ago. I have been very deeply involved with the platform, and I usually embrace progress. Unfortunately I don't see any progress in WP7S.....Hello Android.

Can anyone really judge WM7 based on the demo that was shown. The finished product is probably no where near complete yet and there can still be so many changes made.

And all the haters who are saying they are not interested in what WM7 is offering will probabaly be the first in line when a WM7 device is offered.......
