For me, Microsoft delaying WM7 to mid 2009 would be acceptable provided they IMPROVE / FIX existing features first and add NEW STUFF later.

1. Internet Explorer Mobile
2. Media Player - add podcast support [also on the desktop version please!] and make it more efficient it just chows down on RAM like there's no tomorrow.
3. MMS - it's 2008 and MMS is still not native to the mobile OS?
4. Windows Update - either use it or scrap it...
5. Lock down resolutions and help authors/developers write apps that are compatible across ALL the resolutions. Here is my suggestion.
scrap 176x220
scrap 240x240
min 240x320 [for wm std/classic/pro]
scrap 320x320
mid 480x640 [for wm classic/pro]
scrap 480x800
max 960x1280 [for wm classic/pro/wince etc etc]
6. Merge WM std and pro.
7. Office Mobile - add ability to create and edit PowerPoint files improve Word, Excel and OneNote

Basically MS should fix the core of their OS, yes 3rd party apps are available but the basic Messaging, Browsing, Multimedia on each device should be solid out of the box. This is crucial for new users to become returning users and hopefully long time users of the platform.
