Why is it that every time the name MS comes up, there's always some *nix
freak that has to make jokes ?
You havn't even seen the product ~!

1 - it doesn't need rebooting
2 - it only runs signed code (so no virusses)
3 - there are ways to replace the OS with something linux based (but then
its kinda useless)

Sorry for being so off topic but I had to get that off my chest ...
Just wanted you all to know that the phone is not as bad as Kyle is
portraying, it's actually a damn nice phone ;)

sorry.. but not a chance in hell am I buying a microsoft product,
*especially* a phone. I'd hate to be talking to my parents or something and

have to reboot my phone because it crashed. phone viruses I expect are only

a tiny bit away (if they haven't hit already) and the idea of having to
install a virus-scanner on my phone is also just downright atrocious.

show me a linux phone and we'll talk. :-) That might even make me overcome

my dislike of cell phones in general. ;-)
