And this is why I prefer Windows and Linux over Apple products =)

I suppose this is very good news for developers. Let's hope they cook up some good stuff.

Cool.
Allowing more video codecs is also pretty awesome. I wish that Windows by default came with all the most common codecs (such as .mkv).

Well MS always had good development tools.

The main problem is that their OS were never reliable or performing. I was very pleased when I found a sucker to sell my last Window based mobile that and slow as hell (when not crashing).

So I am quite sceptical if Windows Phone 7 will be stable and fast as it seems Microsoft rushed them out to its stop market erossion from iPhone and Adroid. I will wait for a SP1 I mean Windows Mobile 7.1 before considering a Windows mobile again.
