What a nice surprise, much sooner then expected! I'm personally looking forward to loading this up on my touch pro.

Just saw this on engadget also. Very exciting, I cannot wait!

MS is making me a very happy person.
Win 7 + WM 6.5 + ZuneHD. I'll be set!

does that mean that we will be able to update to 6.5 on that day? or in a few days after the release?

I was looking into flashing my phone this weekend to a custom rom, but if 6.5 is out shortly, it doesn't make much sense and I "could" wait.

i thought it was not an exact official release. should've read it more carefully ;x

news just in. there will be no wm6.5 released on may 11th.
they'll just be showing demos.

i guess we can say the 21501 builds arent even close to RC yet?

I think it will be a June - July release, to compete with iphone 3.0 and new palm.

The interface reminds me of zune. But so long as we have backwards compatibility, and multi-touch, i'm happy.
