It is. Win 7 Mobile actually doesn't look that bad, from what I've seen. Still, they'll bork it up somehow. If there's a way, they will.

Frankly it could be windows 95 ^ vista and chuck in all the spare bugs they had left over from IE1 through 6, and it would still be an improvement on Symbian.

That's a billion people acquired over period of 30 years (that's 3 decades) in a market that they owned most of this time.

I made a decent living out of his products as a contractor and I still use them in my current venture. I may curse them when they go wrong, but I do that for non Microsoft products too.
