Amazing they > could screw it up so bad. Their problem is that Windows Mobile is a hack of Windows (like a fork), which is expensive to maintain and keep up to date. They know they should have built Windows more like Linux (modular*). All Linux phones, including Android, just pick the latest Linux. Supercomputers likewise. ___ *They even filed for a patent on modular O/S. - -- ~~ Best of wishes Remember, Murphy was an optimist. -- Peter van Hooft http://Schestowitz.com | GNU is Not UNIX | PGP-Key: 0x74572E8E roy pts/0 :0 Tue Nov 17 02:37 still logged in http://iuron.com - proposing a non-profit search engine -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAksD/DEACgkQU4xAY3RXLo76VgCaAgpFmO0L/dMAtZ80z/rEFvKc +GQAoJ6FB44GdrsTW7hT5Sps+YQg4f6L =L0Xc -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Not like creating any "smartphone" software is any great achievement, though. Maybe MS just felt it was better left to the proprietary manufacturers to figure out on their own, and focus on the complexity of PC/server OSes that they've been so successful at. -- Joel Crump

Wrong, faggot. I don't give a fuck about "smartphones". I don't even like *laptop computers*. I think "smartphones" are for dipshit suckers who want a retarded brick in their pocket, instead of an actual fucking phone. MS is right to put that gayware on the back burner. -- Joel Crump
