Looks like Microsoft is making itself relevant in all of its old markets again. They announced the successor to Windows Mobile 6.5 earlier today, titled "Windows Phone 7 Series." It's a from-the-ground-up rebuild that takes a lot of design cues from the ZuneHD. There's not a shred of Windows Mobile code in the new OS from what I am reading, which can only be a good thing. It's due out at the end of the year. If it has Mac syncing, this may very well be the OS I end up going with (as opposed to Symbian, Android, webOS, and iPhone OS) when my contract is up in January. www.engadget.com/2010/02/15/windows-phone-7-series-is-official-and-microsoft-is-playing-to/Thoughts?

If it's anywhere near as smooth as a Zune HD it may be the first phone I buy with a contract.
Not that I have the money to do so, but if I did...

There's a Big Bang clip for everything, Josh... www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8r3tHUK6v4But yeah, I don't like an OS telling me I'm too stupid to see advanced features - I find it insulting.

He (or should I say "She"?) must mean how Windows hides everything in the program files and windows folders by default because they're "system vital" files. However, it's been doing that since XP and it's very easy to disable that.
But yeah, that interface looks exactly like my Zune's converted into a phone format. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not. I still can't decide if I like the Zune's interface or not. I know that I either absolutely love it or absolutely hate it, though.

Yeah, almost, but I was referencing User Account Control - "Windows thinks you're too dumb to use this feature, and has therefore created this dialog box to scare you back into the comfort zone..."
And other little things like that, which slowly creep into Windows OSs

If you're not smart enough to disable it and think it's unnecessary, you're not smart enough to "leave the comfort zone."

I used to teach IT (CompTIA), but it's the part where you gotta get thru 47 pages of crap to do a simple task lol.
