Windows Phone 7 Hits Technical Preview Milestone 195
suraj.sun writes "Microsoft's upcoming Windows Phone 7 mobile operating system has today reached its biggest milestone yet, with a technical preview announced placing the OS on the 'home stretch' to launch. 'We are certainly not done yet — but the craftsmen (and women) of our team have signed off that our software is now ready for the hands-on everyday use of a broad set of consumers around the world — and we're looking forward to their feedback in the coming weeks, so that we can finish the best Windows Phone release ever together,' Terry Myerson, Microsoft's Corporate Vice President of Windows Phone Engineering, wrote tonight."

Corporate "improvements" will kill the device... (Score:3, Funny)
My guess is that the thing that will kill this device (like most MS devices that have to compete in a market they haven't cornered), is the fact that by the time the management, sales, and the lawyer teams get done "improving" the device, you won't be able to do anything on it without having to pay through the nose. Repeatedly. Forever.
So, even if the device ends up being a marvel of technology (which seems unlikely given the MS mobile paradigm), it will end up being locked behind a walled garden, which is locked up in a castle, surrounded by a moat, filled with alligators, etc. Sorry, couldn't resist a little hyperbole.

Its sole purpose is for people to look at it and then self-abuse themselves into a climax.
Abuse? I think you're doing it wrong.

Words cannot describe what an absolute pile of garbage that was.
I would rather have tent stakes driven through my eyeballs than spend money on a Windows OS for mobile.
I would rather sit on a cactus doused in sulfuric acid than use Windows Mobile.
I would rather watch The Phantom Menace on repeat for a month while covered in bees and spiders.
I would rather have been given a writing credit for Battlefield Earth.
I would rather be in a relationship with Mel Gibson than use Windows Mobile.
Worst of all, I think I'd rather sign a lifetime contract to use a Kin.
