Looks great but I am not going to hold my breath waiting as T-Mobile have only just suppiled the update for WM6 on the Ameo! Gets me thinking about my next device though, only 11 months left!

Now that we have the screenshots im waiting for some boffin to create the "lookalike" interfaces like they did for iphone like point ui for example lol

guess its only a matter of time so i'll be loggin into XDA Developer every day. Im not really to fussed about the gestures ect. just a good interface and faster browsing for now. 2009 is too far away

looks pretty neat. i just hope they fix the touchscreen bug (that lags when touched) almost all htc devices have suffered.

Looks good, even if more like an iPhone 1.5 UI than a real innovation (and yes, I know that MS did touch before, the iPoo aint the biggest innovation of the decade and Apple generally sucks balls, but still, MS should be more innovative for not to say, should've delivered a finger friendly UI (and screen tech) BEFORE Apple did).

However, 2009 is WAY too late. I was seriously expecting MS to counter by mid 2008 latest. Guess they got pretty much steamrolled by Apple, how else to explain that it takes them 2 years to get the own UI department to finish an actual contender.

Gonna be interesting to see what happens when (and if) Nokia brings out their finger friendly UI later this year.

I read the entire article 2 times through, and I am absolutely blown away. The whole system looks absolutely incredible. If Microsoft actually delivers what they say they are WM will be an absolute pleasure and a joy to use for even the most menial tasks. I am really looking forward to 2009, but unfortunately we have just begun 2008 and this wait is going to be a long and depressing one.

That is a really big problem that seriously needs to be addressed before this UI can even have a chance at competition with Apple's UI.

You know what I hope for?

Left handed scroll bars!!!

Oh please yes!  I'd almost forgotten about that having used keyboard devices for so long!
