I'd say that the cheating makes it a mega misarable epic fail.

Another good subtitle, "HANG ON! I'M SENDING YOU A TEXT MESSAGE!"

WP7 has nothing to do with WinMobile. It is a complete redesign by a new team and far less capable and more restrictive than the old WinMobile. Microsoft refused to use any of the WinMobile team in order to have a completely fresh start. This resulted in some strange basic errors and omissions like a master volume control for all functions, wi-fi connection which terminates when it sleeps, no tethering, no multitasking (initially), etc.

Not quite. We've been over this topic a few times already in other threads.
"That may very well be the case, but Microsoft's official response on the matter is a little less clear. Basically, they're saying that Windows Phone 7 was built on the latest release of CE 6 (R3, in case you're curious), but that they took it further and "incorporated innovative features and functionality on top of the platform." If we had to guess, what they're trying to say is that the Windows Phone 7 project was started when the Compact 7 kernel was still nothing more than a twinkle in Steve Ballmer's eye, so they took the latest code and started mucking with it to meet their needs. It's entirely possible that the Compact 7 team took that code back and kept working on it to create what would ultimately become what we know as the Compact 7 kernel, but that's not something the company is commenting on. At least, not directly. Anyhow, here's the official verbiage:"

"Windows Phone 7 is based on the Windows Embedded CE kernel – the next generation of the Windows Embedded CE platform will be Windows Embedded Compact 7 when released, and the current version is Windows Embedded CE 6.0 R3. Although Windows Phone 7 was built on the Windows Embedded CE kernel at its core, the Windows Phone team has incorporated innovative features and functionality on top of the platform to develop an OS specifically designed to meet the needs of mobile phone manufacturers."


"Oh, and just a note: based on that statement, you might be wondering how we deduced that they're saying they started with a CE 6 core. Basically, Microsoft is in the midst of changing naming conventions in its Windows Embedded range; the current release of CE is 6 R3, but the full name of the next version is Windows Embedded Compact 7. The company states that "Windows Phone 7 was built on the Windows Embedded CE kernel at its core," so yeah, there you have it."
For further details, you can refer to the Wikipedia article on the Windows Embedded Compact 7 and the many details and citatations within that: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Embedded_Compact_7

Forget Android. Just look at Apple doubling its profits:
