I'll be moving from WM to Android next year when my contract expires om my current phone.<br><br>I see WM dieing. Microsoft has not properly maintained the platform and they have hidden calls in their DLLs which programmers are not allowed to use, unless you are a MS programmer. Really upset me when I discovered that they do this. I use to support Windows and Microsoft but this, the constant virus problems, and the Sony audio CD root kit mess was the last straw for me.<br>
<br>I would also like to see Linux receive the same type of support but big business clings to Windows.<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Dec 23, 2009 at 11:09 AM, Barry Drake <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:bdrake@crosswire.org">bdrake@crosswire.org</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Do I understand this correctly:<br>

* The only ongoing development will be bug fixes;<br>

That is how I see the situation unless someone else climbs aboard. Your observation about other software and Windows Mobile does suggest that the WM platform is becoming superseded. Wouldn't it be nice if the same kind of natural obsolescence were to begin to happen to another Microsoft product, which already is outclassed by far superior competitive products. When will ordinary folk begin to realise the wonder of Linux, and when will manufacturers of peripherals support it properly?<br>
