Unfortunately, I don't see IE 6 going away anytime soon. For some reason, large enterprise IT departments seem to still feel a strange infatuation for continuing to deploy computers with IE6 years after IE7 has been in stable release. My organization just went through a huge tech refresh, replacing a lot of Win 2000 computers with Win XP Service Pack 2 computers with IE6. We'll probably get Vista sometime after Windows 8 goes obsolete.

I have been continuously disappointed with Windows Mobile. The development is incredibly slow. From Win Mobile 2002 to Windows Mobile 5, it seems that the only real benefits are persistent storage and the use of full document formats rather than "Pocket Word" format. I don't see that much benefit in WM6, except that it finally supports html email, so I wouldn't necessarily need to have FlexMail on my device if I upgraded to 6 or 6.1.
