Hmmm. This may be difficult. The comments are fragmented over so many WP7 posts.
At any rate, I've been to the new site and basically like what I see. My only concern is the UI lock-down. I understand fully why MS is doing it: The current WM set is so divergent that generally people don't realize that they're _all_ WM phones. A consistent UI will help to get the idea across. It may be too much cribbing from Apple though. I really like the Touch-Flow on my new HD2. (I think I might like it better than the WM7 UI. The weather animations are simply breathtakingly beautiful. We'll see.) I _really_ like the Zune integration.

One thing I really like is that WP7 isn't a "me too" OS. It uses capacitance touch-screens and it requires a compass and g-sensor just like that other OS, but MS is going in a different (and better) direction with it's hub concept and the inter-connectedness of all apps.

I'd say it looks as though MS is back in the game. The only way to lose it now is to botch the marketing. It's been done before, so here's hoping they do it right this time.
