This is just politics b/t huge software companies...
mozilla wants an ndk before any further development...
msft is probably trying to keep this a tight platform at launch for minimal crashes / bugs / etc and this will open the doors as things dont break - also with the whole eu ballot thing, this might be their way of saying f.u. to mozilla too.
Oh and mozilla wants to develop for winmo 7 (idk bout 6) as they see it will be a solid platform for the future or mobile smartphone os's

Ok..it is given that once M$ said no wm6.5 compatibility that many would stop developing it..firefox and adobe were already far in developing wm apps but due to the announcement stopped because they see that M$ has abandoned the platform.

As for WP7..Mozilla wants native execution because if they don't have that they can't make a decent browser that will compete or surpass with IE which does have native execution.

Now on the topic of M$..I honestly think M$ is dieing...my reasoning is..when was the last time M$ did something innovative? And no matter ow you look at it Google is gaining ground..because their business model is far superior to M$...many don't realize that google makes 99% of its money on 1 product and everything they do revolves around that 1 product.

Microsoft will end up dieing at this rate...their stronghold that is windows while does dominate the OS market you gotta consider this...90% of the people who use pcs only want to read their email and surf the internet..that is why netbooks our outselling everything now..Linux debuted on netbook but it is not made for average user..which Google plans to fix with ChromeOS. (And if Google can include a windows app emulator in Chrome then windows will pretty much loose everything)

Their other stronghold is the office suite but Open Office is also gaining ground..and in mobile market Android is beating them too..

Don't get me wrong I'm not pro Google in any way..but at this rate they will destroy M$ alogn side other companies.

Again, Microsoft will not go away. They are too big and have too much money. They will definitely have a role, but a very diminished role compared to say, 3 years ago.

Same could have been said about Enron, AIG, the banks or even Roman Empire..all things come to an end eventually
