This is exactly what everybody was saying as WM5 came out.
"We've started from the ground up..."
"It's an entirely new OS, not just a patch..."
"Everything is so different from previous releases, because we had to re-do almost everything..."
QUICK...! Are these comments referring to WM5 or WM7?
Don't get me wrong. I still love Microsoft and its products and think WM is -- by and large -- still the best game in town. But since 2000, I've also learned that nobody at Microsoft has ever made the mistake of overestimating customer expectations and needs or the mistake of delivering a product/service too early.
However WM7 ultimately looks, feels, works and tastes, it's not going to be anything we expected (or maybe even wanted).
Still, keeping my fingers crossed.
