Personally, I think it's going to flop. Win7 is not only ugly, win7 for regular pc's arent even compatible with most offices and those that rely on employee's to access information.

It might bode well for them not to bitch about reverse engineering of win 7 to keep win popular with users. Giving the advanvces of other OS's out there, I think it would be against microsoft to fight keeping their phone alive. Im not saying that winmo phones will ever dissapear, but doesnt seem like they are keeping in step neither. Buying winmo7 you loose a lot of programs untill and when they catch up to everyday users choice of programs.

It would be a pretty fine line, but the chances of MS coming and knocking down your front door would be pretty slim. I think that the worst that would happen would be MS makes them take it off the site if they disagreed with it.

Completely on the same page with you. really I think the survival of WP7 is going to be in advertising and marketing which MS has never been good at. I think if it can be reworked and the ability to create custom ROM for it will be a huge advantage for it.

I think you are correct... This thread is kinda like the black hole of BS/Offtopic/Complaint posts. Hopefully this sucks in all of the useless posts so that other threads can stay on topic.

Great Idea!!!!!

On that note, I HATE SPAM!!!

I wrote a blog post on this very subject titled Where is Microsoft?

As I agree with you. Microsoft is missing from every growing market and the way things are shaking up even Windows itself is at risk. Either way, if they loose mobile they are already going to loose the future since that is where almost all tech device growth is expected to be.

They really needed to get Windows Phone 7 right. They dropped the ball hard on it though. I'm a big Microsoft fan, but they just plain dropped the ball here. They can't sell the iPhone with their name on it. They had to compete properly with Google's Android and offer an OS that was powerful for businesses and consumers while supporting OEMs. They just plained messed this one up.

Even if they do get "good" sales they have restricted OEMs so much they will have a strong disincentive to even make Windows Phone 7 hardware at all...

It just seems to me Windows Phone 7 is going to be Microsoft's Vista of the mobile world. Hopefully they can bounce back though and come out with a Windows 7 like OS (much loved) with Windows Phone 8...

It is going to be crazy when I replace my Touch Pro 2 with something that isn't running Windows Mobile on it. Just crazy.

hmmm.. MaxSense just might save Windows Mobile.. Just maybe..

[AndroidTroll]

surprise! Windows 7 mobile will work on practically all the current handsets besides the older ones with no qualcomn cpus. It a matter of time when the port happens. Take Android Os as a example. Ppl said it wont work unless its a droid phone but here we are running android at about 90%. All we have to do is start working on it ASAP! Lets all get on our cars and head over to Safeway or your local gvrocery store and start mass purchasing all the tin foil paper we can murtard! And let "Operation Planet x Tin Hat" commence! Once we have enough tin hats we can reach Niburo! And they who speak in lizard tounjge shall show us the wm7 way! lalalallalallalalallallalala!!!

Do we really need faster processors and more RAM or do we need more efficient software? ...there's something to marinade on... I've been using MaxSense for less than a day and overall performace is blazing fast, and I've got it pretty loaded up with a bunch of crap. Sure its buggy, its the first freaking release! Now I'm asking myself is there anything these dev's can't do?! ...well I haven't seen an attempt to port the iPhony os yet...of course who would want that crap?!
