We're Back...
Does it ever feel good to be home! I feel like I've been gone for a month - it's amazing how the email and postal mail piles up in only six days. 8O I slept for 12 hours last night, which probably only made things worse, but I had to start somewhere. :wink: The MVP Summit was amazing, I learned so much, and my "enthusiasm batteries" are now super-charged.  It's easy to get frustrated with Microsoft - they're so big, it often feels like our feedback goes into a big black hole and never reaches anyone. This week proved to me that it's not true - they really do listen.
There are some really exciting things coming for the Pocket PC, but it's a long-term process. One of the things I learned during the summit was that Microsoft has finally locked into a long-term plan for the Pocket PC. The past few years they've been more reactionary than anything else, and the things we were told solidified my confidence in their efforts.
I wish I could tell you more, but Microsoft trusted us with a lot of deep insider information, so our lips are sealed (and keyboards as it were). The future, however, is looking very bright! 8)

Jason left? 8O :wink:
Sounds like it was all good news then. I don't think you'd be sleeping 12 hours if there was any impending danger to our beloved PPCs.

Wow! I would have thought this topic would be full of people by now. What is going on? Is there something on the news? Did something happen to TVs? Is there a virus rumaging through computers again?
I am not complaining, but its just that I'll never become used to a topic with less than 10 people in it, even for a minute. 8O :lol:

Heh. Even I don't know anything.  Jason could get in big trouble if he broke his NDA...
I'll take Jason's word, though, that MS has a game plan. I can only assume that a game plan does NOT translate to "PPC2002 forever!"... :lol:

I can confirm that I can't confirm. :lol:
But you can answer the question yourself by looking at the dates for the original April 2000 release, then the October 2001 release...
