I wonder about this too. I have an aging Treo 600 that I think is about to die and so I am thinking about replacing it. The app I need most is Pocket Quicken. I don't really like the Palm based smart phones out there now and the other choice that can run some sort of Quicken is Windows CE or whatever they are calling it today. Yuck! I am already torqued enough at Microsoft but I am thinking about switching nonetheless.
I would be interested in this Linux based phone but I wonder how useful it will be? Are there going to be any apps that I currently use? No mention in TFA of when this might be available. It sounds like they have made similar announcements like this before that amounted to nothing. This is probably just a marketing trial balloon intended to generate buzz.

I do know that the last six or seven American execs just got canned and replaced with imports (money from Mexico, execs from Mexico) And I hear their coyotes are bringing them across st this very moment!!!
If they deny people the upgrade, there will be class action suits without a doubt And the only people who get anything out of class action lawsuits are the lawyers. When it is all said and done, you might get a $50 discount coupon towards the version of your choice of retail Vista.
Microsoft didn't kill clippy in MS Office, they just moved him upstairs to an entire operating system designed to ask unwieldy and confusing questions. That's how it works in corporate America and politics - why not in Windows Vista too?
Maybe I am just paranoid, but having a video camera trained on me whenever I use the computer is disquieting. Ahem... and just what would you be doing when using the computer that you don't want the entire world to see?
If these idiots are too distracted to look out for buses, they surely won't think to take their iPod off when crossing the street. Another worthless law. It seems that we have to have a law for absolutely everything these days.

A technology shouldn't be thrown away just because you don't like how some choose to use it. Some people use cars to run over others, but that doesn't mean we should get rid of all cars.
Ahh! The old "Guns don't kill people, people kill people" argument.

For exactly some of the reasons you mention, I block Flash. The only 'tard here is you.
Microsoft products get more and more bloated all the time. They have an seemingly institutionalized attitude that it is ok to just require the user to continually buy faster hardware to run their bloatware.

Number one extension to use: IE7 God, what a lot of drivel.
After all, it "took place some tens of millions of years ago".

That sounds like an excellent idea to me, seriously. I wonder what the effect of doing that would be on the user though?
Me too but sleeping in the cardboard box and having to use the computers at the library REALLY sucks!
drunk + e-mail to boss = bad idea
I love all kinds of roasted seeds :)

WindowsUpdate? Would I see a warning screen?

Look out your office window and read what you see. Does the sign out front say Microsoft?
I would call but my Senator is Barbara Boxer and I don't think I could call her office without barfing all over my desk.
This reminds me of an old BMW joke:
What is the difference between a BMW and a porcupine?
On the BMW, the pricks are on the inside.
