Is it MS or is it the Carriers?
I agree with the basic argument that WM is just too far behind to catch up with the iPhone's GUI and that it needs to be completely made over. BUT I think we are forgetting the power the carriers wield. They have kept 3rd party apps off cell phones, pretty much stopping the development community. Apple changed the rules of the game and they drove the party not AT&T. So it seems to me that MS needs to sit down with Verizon and Sprint and T-Mobile and say "What are we doing guys? What is our answer to the iPhone? It better not follow the same history as the iPOD or we are toast. We did a fairly good job with the Zune. Why can't we do that with a phone?"
