How different is it from 6.1?

**conflipper** · #22 (**permalink**) 01-25-2009, 02:41 PM

It is a little faster, but for the most part just an advanced 6.1, more finger recognition and everything, nothing to be to excitied about at this time.

As for the previous "legal" advise... I wouldn't be so sure MS would get mad about this at all. Who do you think most likely leaked it?

I'm currently testing Windows 7 Beta, (NOT WinMo 7) and I did await the "official" release. However a leaked version mysteriously appeared online about 3-4 months before it was put up by MS on TechNet. Word on the internet was that MS leaked it on purpose to take advantage of the work and debugging that was done for them for FREE by developers all around the world.

Same thing most likely applies here. It was leaked by someone... most likely to be MS since that would be where it got it's beginning, and has been until it leaked.

Why not dump it out on the internet? Let the guys at PPCGeeks, XDA, and the like, fix and debug the thing and repost? Cut's out a lot of cost, and a lot of paid man-hours at MS to let people here do the work.

Maybe, just maybe, MS knows EXACTLY what they're doing... dropping the project in the hands of people that are in some cases, more educated than the developers that work for them. Anyone agree on this?

Crazychef, are you serious? MS does not, and has never sold a ROM. If you own a device, they don't give a **** what OS you are running, PPCGeeks exists almost solely as a portal for custom roms. Just about every ROM I can remember having been leaked has been ported to our devices by PPCGeeks modders, and MS has never cared. They don't sell their mobile OS, its going to be released as a free update, if released at all.

No doubt. He's way ahead of the MS curve. Of course there are several other SUPER talented developers here, at XDA, and ppckitchen.org. If MS would hire the whole lot, we'd have new roms monthly.

It's not up to MS to give the minor updates, it's the carrier's responsibility. If it wasn't for these communities, I would still be stuck with WM 6.0 and a radio with flaky bluetooth and no GPS. Bell Mobility has done very minimal upgrading maintenance of the existing lines. BM and the parents motto, "if you want the new OS or feature, buy the newer model."
