Unfortunately they won't. The sad truth is power users like us are the minority and most simply want an out of the box experience that is idiot-proof similar to the iPhone because they've never learned to use anything better. This is a win for MS because when you idiot proof something you don't have to provide as much support.
I'd have no problem at all with what they're doing with WM if they'd just stop trying to dictate what we should have the ability to do with our phones. Why not make a WM7 pro with limited tech support and add in the ability to multitask without restriction, use some sort of file system, and freely install applications from any source we desire? Those of us who would use those features are already well aware that our battery life would be affected, we might run into bugs, etc, and we're more than capable of finding our own help if we need it. I'd gladly pay a reasonable premium for this, I just want the option to have it. There's a lot to like about WM7, but absence of the power features we all know and love is a dealbreaker
As for me, I'll be running my TP2 until a) it dies, b) Verizon releases the HD2, or c) i get my next upgrade and give one of the snapdragon HTC android offerings a try. Maybe someone will figure out how to hack WM6.5 onto the Incredible or Nexus One or something like that.
