back to article No Windows Mobile 7 launch at MWC, claims mole

    Microsoft needs to give up in mobile and stop spending billions on this losing game.

    The game is already over for Windows Mobile. Microsoft lost. Now it must move on and concentrate on its other enterprise divisions

    Hey, IBM is still around, 20 years after losing the PC game.

    WinMo and NT 7

    WinMo 7 will be released along side the next version of Windows, as they will be sharing the same Kernel.

Other changes will include dumping of 32-bit versions of the OS and porting more code into the .net framework.

    I used to work in the Mobile department until being laid off.
