So, after much, much speculation and many, many rumours, Microsoft finally took the wraps off Windows Phone 7 Series, its newest mobile operating system. Hold on to your hats, because uncharacteristically for the Redmond giant, they've rebuilt everything from the ground up - this system has little to no connection to the Windows Mobile of yore. I don't say this lightly - but dear lord, Windows Phone 7 Series is full of win. Update: Hands-on video from Engadget inside. Update II: There is no sync application. It's all done over-the-air, to the internet. Only videos and music are synced via the Zune software. Update III: Since I didn't mention it clearly, here it goes: Windows Phone 7 Series is a clean break. There is no backwards compatibility at all. Update IV: Channel9 has a 22-minute in-depth demonstration of Windows Phone 7 Series.

Have you ever actually used Mac software from Microsoft?
I've used Office:mac X, 2004, and 2008.
Not only are its apps buggy and super slow, the development is slow as well. For the longest time Office:mac wasn't even capable to read Unicode! Office:mac itself also wasn't able to read and write OOXML files (NeoOffice was).
After all those years Microsoft Messenger is still not capable of AV chat!
Just like Zune? Oh, wait... Zune isn't supported.
