WM 6.5.1 Question for you Rom Cooks.

[dehx]

I've been seeing screenshots and even tried some roms out for the vogue and tp1 that seems to have change the position of the start button... is this NATIVE to 6.5.1? Wouldn't this break alot of applications. Although given that developers such as myself can theoretically "code" a check in the application and make adjustments to the screen accordingly.

So my questions with you kernel addicts is thus:

1. Is the change in position for the start menu on the bottom and native permanant part of 6.5.1, or is it a preference that the user can set.

2. Would you agree that this seems to be out of step with how M$ has traditionally kept backwards compatibility one of the key features of their (not just smart device) OS platforms?

Your intelligent input is appreciated. Please no crazy "Microsoft has godda ketchup".
Thanks
