WINDOWS MOBILE NEEDS FIXING, FAST

Last week's big Redmond stories were the release of Dynamics Live CRM and
the announcement that Windows Server 2008 would come out in February of
next year along with the next revs of SQL Server and Visual Studio. The
week prior it was how Apple iPhone seemed a little worm-ridden when
compared even to Windows Mobile. And naturally, at the time, I agreed.
No one's open-mouthed with surprise, but even so, I feel it's important
to point out that I don't think the iPhone is total bullocks. And
nothing has served to bring that out more than Microsoft's release of
Dynamics Live.
