This will likely kill a lot of the compatibility with the current applications available for Windows Mobile. If this happens, windows mobile is as good as dead. Microsoft will really need to make this operating system very appealing if its going to try and pull this off.
...not sure i have the faith in ms that i used to either to believe they will pull it off... |

That was a really bad stretch of a conclusion.
