You do know that Android is open source? so anyone can edit and modify it or make it work. It is also based on Linux which was developed by hackers >.>

If Microsoft really wants to make an OS for their phones that their users would like they should have taken a survey or a poll of their current users and what they would like to see and use on their phones and what changes they think should be implemented.If WM7 is as bad as it sounds then im definetly going to be an Android user in the future.What is Microsoft thinking?

Microsoft has no interest in us at all..they wouldn't care to poll us they are out to make another iPhone for the average user. Their impression is to focus on average consumer first and worry about business people after.

Based on what I've heard, no.

I’m going to start this off with the point that as WP7 is built of CE7, which is an upgrade to CE6 (WM6.5 is built of CE5.2) of course the OS supports multitasking! There aren’t major smartphones that don’t support it at an OS level, because that would cause things like not being able to receive a phone call when not in the phone application.

From what delving I’ve done in the SDK (and what I’ve been told by a few) Microsoft will allow third party developers access to multitasking, but only if the developer can give a good reason. This may seem like Microsoft trying to control your life, but it’s really Microsoft wanting the experience to be good!

What point is there to having a game rendering in the background, when if you hibernate it and resume you’re game will still be in the same state? All that will do is cause the OS to slow down with no benefit. As a different example, a web browser would be useful to have downloading content in the background as it would let you do other things when loading web pages, but there’s not point in it constantly refreshing what it’s drawing to the screen as you will not see it.

The packages that applications are stored in (think cab file, but the code is executed from within it’s package, rather than copying the contents of the package on to the device and then running it there) contain a manifest stating what permissions the package has, like multitasking, web access etc, so it’s harder for idiots to install malware, but there should be the option to turn that off, much like you can turn off the unsigned cab warning in WM6.5. This is, I believe, the “developer” mode.

I hope that little rant clears up some of the multitasking, but if you have any questions, do let us know below!

I agree with Yay 4 Juggs. Why is this even in this forum! So what if it gets a lot of traffic, its not for w7.


I would normally careless if something was posted in the wrong forum but one day this guy is all for W7 and the next day he's bashing it and microsoft. We all know you're a android fan boy, go post in the correct forum!
