As a 6 year Windows Mobile user, I'm honestly not hearing anything from Microsoft or it's "partners" that is making me consider not ditching the platform for the iPhone.

Does anyone know if Microsoft is going to lock out the current model, where you can buy applications (and update them) directly from the developers, or through a service like Handango.com? If Microsoft tries to lock users and developers into an app store format with rules like that, I'm not convinced that they'll maintain the market share that they currently enjoy. Personally, I'm getting disillusioned with the platform.
