They made it more locked down than Android.

It may make Windows ME look like an unbridled success.

Microsoft didn’t sell using the phone.
They sold NOT using it.

I want to know what it does.
Does it support Windows file types?
Can I drag & drop files, photos, mp3s, and mpgs directly to and from my desktop? (I HATE “syncing”!!!)

Are there apps for it?
If it supported Windows Gadgets directly, then it would be a major selling point. But I haven’t heard anything about it doing that, so I have to assume Microsoft missed out on a huge no-brainer opportunity.

Maybe Bill Gates would like the government to force us to buy his phone.

It launched? Seriously, I had no idea. I've seen a couple of commercials for it while watching football... Seems like their ad agency is trying to rip off the android robot with something similar, but soft and squishy.

Well, a non-event for me. I am far too happy with my android based phone to even consider switching.

The problem with Microsoft is they are mostly gay liberals. I mean have you seen Windows 7? It works OK but have you noticed how soft and pastel it is? In other words GAY!

I’ll bet the phone is the same thing.

$500 million advertising budget

I don't think Donovan's "Season of the Witch" was a particularly intelligent theme song. What were they thinking?

Microsoft would be as well served to just light dollar bills on fire, but this way generates employment and is “greener”.

Help me out here. I don’t watch TV so I have no idea what an Android phone is. And why would I want to buy one of those or Microsoft phone? I just use a cell phone to make phone calls so I guess I am out of it.

Last night I was watching an episode of NCIS on the DVR. Someone, can’t recall who, pulled out a W7 phone. First one I’ve seen outside of the commercials.

I’m sure a good portion of their ad budget is going to “product placement” in shows.

Kinda funny that they chose that show. Abby’s been using an iPad, and McGeek has used an iPhone for years.
