When is the Windows Mobile team going to quit releasing these new "groundbreaking" services that are supposed to liven up the WinMo franchise, when the installed base of users is left behind? As I've stated before, I don't mind upgrading my phone/platform when something revolutionary comes along (e.g., WinMo 7) but if the 6.5 requirement is true for the new stuff MSFT is just shooting themselves in the foot again.
I agree that they shouldn't require WM 6.5, but where did you read that? It seems hard to believe that the OS would be required for these services.

Sure, the OS should ship with them included, but why can't the clients be downloaded like Live Search, MSN Live or Tag?
