That's good in theory if the platform were solid. However, how many times have you heard about Windows Mobile locking up or having other issues (like alarms not triggering)? Some of the locking up might be attributable to software (my Omnia occasionally locks up when my Redfly disconnects, so that could be a Redfly driver issue), but users won't care.
And Microsoft makes some stupid decisions at times, too. When they finally released Office Mobile for the Smartphone, they made it so that you couldn't create new documents; you could only edit existing ones. Programmers created a hack for that, or you could just keep blank files to "edit" and save them as new files, but why should you have to?
