Conspiracy theory? Blah blah blah
I was too busy WORKING (heard of it itanalyst?) to check the Talkback nonsense on this yesterday but since I'm up bright and early today I thought I'd add my two cents.

All this "sad day" stuff makes my stomach turn. I would be happy to personally meet with the dolts who trash Windows Mobile on Treo to confirm that (1) they've never used Windows Mobile software and (2) probably don't own a Treo either. Let's set the record straight. Windows Mobile software is good. MSFT, love 'em or hate 'em, keeps trying until they get it right. WM is yet another example of that. The hardware companies and mobile operators aren't switching to Windows because their arms are being twisted. They're doing it because the software is good and their customers want it. That's called "good busienss" for you high schoolers.

Also, MSFT certainly isn't doing this to harm Palm. MSFT isn't a hardware company. They want Palm to be successful because if Palm is successful, MSFT sells more licenses to Windows Mobile and makes money. Again, that's called "good business."

Please grow up and start picking on someone who you really need to worry about. Like Google. wink
