[and] in the second half of 2011, we will release a version of Windows Embedded Handheld based on Windows Phone 7 technology." He also indicated that the company will "[work] on a clear path for enterprises to migrate their line-of-business applications to our new application platform" to Windows Phone 7.

There's a little life left in it...

Somebody is putting overtime!!!

It sounds like MS is keeping itself busy to try to recuperate market. I am eligible to upgrade now, but to be honest, I'm waiting for this next big thing (WP7) not saying I will get one, but I will compare iPn' 4(AAPL), Android(GOOG), BlkBry(RIMM), & WP7(MSFT)... and let the winner take my money and my signature on a contract. Applause for MSft 😉
