I like it because "to ship is to choose" - it's easy to describe things you want, but we have to ship the product eventually and some things don't make it. Deciding what stays and what goes is the hard (and painful) part of product development. So now it's your turn. You have $100 feature-dollars. How do you spend them? Anything we can do is in scope."</i><br /><br />Here's an interesting exercise. You get $100 of <i>Feature Dollars</i> to spend on any features you want to see changed or added in the next release of Windows Mobile. The amount of money you put to a feature shows just how important it is to you. Keep the focus of this to the changes that Microsoft can actually do. That means nothing about more memory, smaller footprint, better backlight, jog wheel, etc. Once you have your feature dollars broken out across your various features, head on over to the <a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/windowsmobile/archive/2006/08/08/one_hundred_feature_dollars.aspx">Window Mobile Team Blog</a> and share it with them. :D
