To be fair, the people working on the Windows Phone 7 OS seem to be competent as well. (Although you may have lumped those people in the Windows category)


Oh sorry, I didn't even really consider that part of the deal. Call it a habit I guess for being so unhappy with their mobile division.

That said, Windows Phone 7 is much more interesting to me than Android. Honestly, if I had the choice between Android and a WP7 device, I'd pick the WP7 device. I am a Mac guy so it makes the most sense to be on the iPhone. But if things change I am quite glad that Microsoft rethought their mobile strategy.

My only hope is that they don't get bypassed by other consumers so much that they can't maintain keeping the OS moving forward. I truly honestly believe that WP7 is a better choice than Android in the long run.

From what I've seen it is a really interesting experience. I've seen enough videos to see how it functions from a user standpoint and I have to say it is a really unique way of thinking things. I see features on it that I wish the iPhone had.

So while I dismissed the mobile unit from my original comment, I should ammend it to state that I really do like the way the mobile unit in Microsoft is going.
