I dont think MS know how to overhaul an OS. They should fire their market research teams and start fresh. They should get rid of the Power User Geeks and get a research team filled with Teens, Moms/Grandmoms, Upper Management personnel (who are usually technologically inept), School Teachers, Policemen, Plumbers, etc. People want a fun/easy to use device that does it all. MS lost the fun/easy to use part somewhere. Baby steps…baby steps. I dont think MS know how to overhaul an OS. They should fire their market research teams and start fresh.

Considering WinMo 7 is not out till next year it is clear that MS had to do something. I've just started using a Windows Mobile smartphone again and it is far more obvious after using the iPod Touch that Windows Mobile needs the 6.5 polishing. I won't really know if 6.5 goes far enough until I try it out. You have to handle and "feel" it to really know. Of course, with iPhone 3.0 on the way it will have many of the most glaring omissions in the current version, which means pressure on MS to get moving. I'm just upset that I won't be able to get 6.5 unless I purchase a new device. My iPod Touch is upgradeable to 3.0 but my HTC Touch is stuck where it is.
