Licensing
If I remember correctly, the typical licensing fee was somewhere around $3 for a Windows Mobile device.

Hardly your dooms-day price-hiking fee you are trying to conjure up...


Please, can the anti-MS zealots not at least admit when MS is doing something better than someone else? Palm had NO ties with MS (no pressure), yet decided to dump their own OS to use MS' OS.

Could it not be possible, just maybe, that there could be a technical reason why WinMobile could be better? I don't think any anti-MS zealot worth their salt will EVER admit to something like that. They will always dig up some dumb theory that completely misses the point just in order not to give MS any credit.

Pretty sad really...
