So now, I will find my banking software to some Bubbles game, and skype to sudoki, sex, sync, or whatever else. Not really "user friendly" I would say. Hope it is not true. My point is WM is WM let it be and let it do what it does the best! Not to be some flashy surface to wow teenage girls, but productive platform that can be replacement of my laptop or desktop to some point on the go. And in spite of all the trendy bushing that was going on since iPhone came out it is still the best PRODUCTIVITY mobile platform. Yes it has its pitfalls, but so does iPhone and Android, I know, I have and I use both. Although. I prefer G1 over iPhone, which is pretty much collecting dust in my draw.

You can do whatever you want with the folders and shorcuts in Start Menu on 6.5, just like you can in all previous WM versions - there is no difference there, the only difference is the lack of Start menu. So organizing your shotcuts is no problem.
As for finger friendy action, the 6.5 is more or less the first step, and the so called 6.5.1 version (the newest builds on XDA-Developers) are much more advanced in this regard.
One thing about the linked article. I doubt that the screenshots on the pictures are "real", but what interests me more is the info on the slide - ability to synchronize files (I assume over the air) and integration with Share Point. At least for me this would be excelent if true and would make my WM device much much more usable.
Oh and the timeline is not really something new, I was under impression that the fall 2010 WM7 devices are more or less confirmed, yes they are at least a year late, but we can't really do much here.
