Windows CE -> Windows Mobile 6.5 is all the same codebase.

It doesn't matter anyway - adages are just rules of thumb. The point is that Microsoft isn't as bad at creating good products... eventually.

Think about these: XBox, Bing (esp travel search), C#, F#, etc

Try WinMo7 - it's quite impressive and different to the iPhone or Android.



sorry if I've touched a nerve there. I've never said (on this forum or elsewhere) a bad word about WP7. I've never seen one but I'm quite willing to believe all the positive things I've read about it. I was just having a light dig at your '3 attempts' remark, that's all


Oops - I thought you were the poster I was replying to and were missing the point. Sorry!

And yes: I agree that Microsoft managed to spend a lot of time & money on mobile operating systems that turned out to be dead ends.


no worries :)
