It does look they are purposely aligning Win 7 and WinMo 7 to be out at the same time....Maybe there is a plan....

he did say "be out at the same time" not "released at the same time"

Still makes sense. If they do it right, they will just update their PC OS at the same times as their Mobile OS

I can see all Microsoft products working together soon. With the availability of 32GB microSD cards they can even label phones as Zunes if they do it right. Who knows what they will come up with.

Even if they get WM7 right, its going to take till WM8 to even hope to make WM popular again. The other competitors are already wayyy ahead in their mobile OS technology.

It depends on how much work they've put into this one and THEY ****ING ADVERTISE IT.

I doubt it will take WM8. I just got the feeling they are gonna do this right.

not so much.
other ones still lack alot of little features wm has, and tons of apps it has.
Now with no backwards compatibility for apps, then that wouldn't matter as much. But I guarantee someone somewhere will make an emulator if it's not microsoft themself.

+1. They know what needs to be done, and watching the development team stuff makes me believe they are putting every last ounce of effort into this OS.

lol. not really. yeah, they're siick.
BUUUUUT....look at others that are coming out.
Personally I'd rather have one of the two following phones over the hd2...
The Motorola Mirage (shadow) - although I don't like the design, just like all of the features and if it has a snapdragon (haven't looked into it too much) then I will probably get one.
Or LG Expo - that projector would be quite a awesome way to show off. LOL.

wm7 is not likely to make many people want to switch from android or iphone. Had they came out with it last year maybe but they've already fallen too far behind in that aspect.
