Microsoft seems anti-efficiency in the way it works - everything is sold as faster, more powerful etc and yet it always places demands on hardware that are proven as unnecessary.

Microsoft, in return for the viral way in which manufacturers spread it's germs, seems intent on generating hardware churn of such massive proportions i wouldn't be surprised if the real Wall-E comes about to rid our planet of all the Microsoft-running piles of junk we end up with as a result of following Microsoft's Suggested Hardware Upgrade Paths..

We can't keep doing this Mr Gates - we can only commit so much money and energy to getting simple things done...

Had my rant now - off to endulge in a half-price Ben & Jerry's/Cookie Dough.. Coz i'm worth it!!!!!

Silly M$... If they don't have enough bad publicity with their Pocket IE. I won't be bothered as I am using Opera with my Touch HD and Skyfire when it's out of beta.

Probably their IE 6 will be so bloated and sluggish anyway that's why they need "new" hardward. lol

"Internet Explorer Mobile 6" - Wow. That's like announcing that MS is finally bringing out a VHS video recorder.

Does anyone from MS own an iPhone? Or a G1? Or indeed anything that doesn't run Windows Mobile?

I guess the smart people in MS are trying to make Vista less of a fat torpid DRM-ridden rabid dog, and the less than smart MS people? They're on the Windows Mobile team.

Pitiful.

I bought a HTC Touch Diamond in the summer (it was my first Windows Mobile phone). I couldn't live with it. After a week I had sent it back. Never again!

Awful.

@Steve - It's all about the software. I'm putting together an article on Android v the iPhone's mobile MAC OX S - should make for a good read ;)

Disgusting.

I wonder whether the real reason is some sort of cost, which can only be absorbed on new handsets. Does Adobe Flash Lite come with a price tag?
