PDAs, Cellphones, Wireless A modified version of the code for Windows Mobile 6, which Microsoft launched less than two weeks ago at the 3GSM mobile phone conference, has hit the Net. It's the handiwork of 'Kyphur', a moderator at the discussion forums on XDA Developers site, who has released a hacked version of the code for Windows Mobile 6, aka 'Crossbow'.

That was fast. What consequences will this have?

Is this the final version of the OS, or will Microsoft now make some changes to make new drivers incompatible? And in that way try to avoid the OS to work on other devices than 'hermes'.

So this was "Pirated" or "Leaked"? The term pirated is somewhat bogus, it implies that a developer's "ship" was commandeered at gunpoint or something. I mean, this kind of software leak (much like come movie screeners getting "pirated") is likely an inside job, is it not?

My question is if its actually the Final OS and not a redux of the beta?

Unless the drivers are available the OS is useless.
