You might be experiencing pilot pollution. Your phone is seeing too many sites at once. This is of course if you are using CDMA (Verizon, Sprint, US Cellular, etc).
I used to play games while I was a windows user. About the same time I got interested in Linux I started losing interest in games. I chalk it up to changing tastes and life getting busy. Priorities shifted to make time for other things.
What makes you think that the bad guys aren't already working on it? Beta releases of Vista are available on p2p networks right now. It'd be big time bragging rights to be the person to release a virus crippling Vista the day it officially releases.
When the school I work for started issuing laptops to students, we came up with some issues.
The first issue that was noticeable on a daily basis was bandwidth useage. Lets say you have 300 desktops now, and you plan on switching to over 1000 laptops. You're looking at adding 800 machines to the network. On top of that, these laptops are going to be used more often and will consume more bandwidth than a typical lab computer (think p2p). Investing a bigger pipe is a good idea. You might also consider using something like a packeteer to control network traffic.
A second issue has been supporting the new, larger userbase. This last year we took away administrative rights from the students. They were pretty pissed for a while, but they got used to it. Taking the admin rights away probably cut our time supporting students by 50 - 75%.
Another observation is about wireless. I hope you plan on deploying to the dormitories the school runs. We deployed to common areas only (which includes the lobbies of dorms but only the lobby) and students were irritated that the wireless didn't work in their rooms. Four years later we're rolling out wireless to the dorms.
These are just some observations I've made in the last 4 years.
Does any of this remind anyone of the situation with North Korea? One rogue nation (translation: company) lashing out at everyone trying to solve its problems...

You'll poke your eye out!
All cell carriers do this normally. At my last apartment I was bouncing between 4 Verizon towers. None gave me good signal. :(
ATT is currently running HSDPA in a few areas, but most are only at 1.8Mbit/s. To my knowledge the phones ATT sells are only 3.6.Mbit/s

Here I am getting used to M$ and their goal of vendor lock-in and they turn the tables on me...with vendor lock-out.
I felt a great disturbance in the tubes, as if millions of baseball fans suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.
NASA...you guys suck at life!
The problem is Microsoft products try to incorporate too much functionality at the expense of functionality.
How about zero-fix vulnerabilities?
