Q: In summer '07, which OS supported viewing Word 2007 and Excel 2007 documents: iPhone OS 1 or WM 6?

A: iPhone OS 1

iPhone has supported viewing Office document email attachments since day 1- and actually did (in many cases still does) a better job of it than WM (better rendering). Of course, if you need to edit said docs, that's another story but in probably 99 out of 100 cases, real world users only need to view their Office docs on their phones not edit them.

If you and MS close your eyes and keep telling yourselves that, maybe the iPhone (and RIM, Android, etc.) will just go away...

Obviously you're a WM fan- good for you- everyone has a different device which is right for them, but to pretend that the iPhone's success is strictly (or even in large part) due to the stupidity/gullibility of Apple's customers is just plain silly.
