I am suprised they left Modaco til last to be honest, this has been happening to loads of other MS-orientated web sites over the last few weeks.

Well technically someone from within MS had already done that, but I was not comfortable about censoring a user's post in that way without being able to justify my actions as shown above.

Reasonable I thought.. of course, would have been totally different if I personally had posted the info...

I can't see how posting a screenshot is breaking a copyright law. The press are entitled to publish pictures snapped from behind a fence etc. Would be different if you'd posted the source code to Windows Mobile though...

I guess its in case any other OS writers decide to model the graphics of their next OS on Windows Mobile 2005.... Seems a bit extreme though if you ask me.

They're some ingrates if you ask me. The word-of-mouth from communities like this one is their bread and butter, especially in the case of Smartphone.

Also used in Lean On Me with Morgan Freeman (not that we all needed to know that).

But I would think that Microsoft would be ok with a few images about their up-and-coming ROM since it will entice people to begin saving and looking for it.

I'm 'said' to be boring, unsociable, and impolite...

So "MS Internet Investigator" should be a walk in the park for me. - where do I apply?
