I can't tell if MS stopped trying so hard after the whole DOJ thing so they won't be blamed for being a monopoly or if MS just stops caring if there's no competition and think people will use their stuff by default or if their good ideas only come from imitating others, or if their products just suck as of late.

Besides all the obvious reasons to love or hate WM I have to say I hate the 'unlock' screen which has gotten worse in WM6 with the new unlock key added. First, as a phone/organizer I wish I could get a peak at my day without unlocking the thing every time but more importantly, why is the 0 so big and the "clear" so small? I have 6 numbers in my pin now and not one of them is a 0! I'm sure more people hit clear than 0. In fact, they should make the 0 the same size as the other numbers and change the big button to "unlock".

MS hasn't really bothered to update PIE and Media Player but now that Apple is in the game, they're talking about great things to come. Too late.
Why are they talking about version 8! Fix it in 7 if you know it should be done.

Even the layout of the onscreen phone keypad sucks. The important buttons are too small. How hard is it to fix that?
