You've just hit on my one major complaint about the iPhone --> iTunes. That software sucks more than all in the world that sucks. I mean it's so bad I wonder if it started out as a government funded project. As many complaints as I've ever had with ActiveSync over the years, and there's been many, it's never blue screened a computer on me. I can't even get iTunes to run
at all on my wife's laptop - not even within VMware Workstation. I'm guessing there's something about the USB ports on her computer that it just doesn't like.
I suppose what bothers me the most about Microsoft and WM is that there is literally no other company in the world that has the resources or the collective programming talent as them, yet after nearly 10 years they still can't make a mobile OS with such simple features as a close button that closes or a simple alarm that actually works. I imagine there must be several people over there in the mobile division who are at an all time low level of morale. There must be something stopping them from doing things well. I don't know if it's the higher decision makers, bean counters, or what, but there must be a reason other than a lack of programming ability.
