Not really. It could be one less person using a RIM, or a Moto phone, or any other phone that's not a WM device. And now MS will collect some money on any of those cases.
You've exhausted my desire to debate, so I think I'll just take the little nugget of wisdom from your signature and call it a day.
I do think WM7 will be great for a lot of things. But I don't see it really stunting the iPhone honestly. It'll be just enough to keep it at bay.
Don't forget the "WOW!" factor, iPhone is something new, trendy, something from the Apple fans wishlist for many years. By the time WM 7 comes out, iPhone will get so used up , that it will turn in to joke, like many nice devices before it. Just look how much noise SE Experia 1 made in smartphone community, and not only smart phone, UMPC as well. Wait 'till it's out and then decide what suites better you. After all, beauty is in hands of a beholder.
Another thing, MS went thru so many law suites in the past 10 years or so, IMHO, it just playing safe, leaving all the front side to other developers, but building a a foundation of it back side so to speak. Staying in the shadow, invisible.

The iPhone is definitely a big WOW device. I was surprised how taken I was with it, having once been a Mac-zealot who got out of that racket, then got hooked on the usefulness of WinMo computing.
Once the iPhone sparkle-dust stopped falling, though, I shook my head and realised that the thing is a browser, not a computer. I need a computer. I need to create documents, to write long stretches of text, and to keep track of tasks. The iPhone isn't designed for creation, it's designed for consumption.
Exchange support is no great help to me on either device, because I'm an individual, not part of some large organisation with dedicated servers.

I'd really encourage you to look into hosted Exchange: I'm just an individual as well, but if you have more than one device you check Outlook on (laptop, desktop, smartphone, etc.) you'll be shocked at how well hosted Exchange works. It's truly transformative...

I've thought about hosted Exchange, but is there a good solution out there for file sync? My main files that need syncing are Flexwallet and an Excel spreadsheet that I use to track gas mileage/maintenance.

Who would you recomend to do hosted Exchange Jason? It's something I'm looking into at the moment, any pointers would be usefull. I don't use my Orbit for push email and I think it's time I did.
What are the advantages of using hosted Exchange over just using gmail?
As an individual (not as a part of a company), I have been using gmail for the last several years because it is available to me on any device, anywhere I am. Am I missing something??

The only thing I've found is an ftp server and Handy Backup. I have to manually copy the file(s) between the server and the device, but Handy Backup can copy the file(s) between the server and the desktop automatically.
Speaking of which, I need to contact my web host. Thank you for reminding me.
