New Windows Phone Won't Run Current Apps

03/08/2010 7:47 AM

NEW YORK (AP) -- Microsoft Corp. has said its new software for smart phones, Windows Phone 7 series, is a "clean break" with the past. Now it's clear just how clean that break is: The new phones, expected late this year, won't run any applications written for older versions of Microsoft's phone software.

got a Zune do ya?

the technologies advancing at the pace they do, the marketing does matter.

in the short attention span theater that is the world of handheld computing, can MS keep shedding customers in the name of expediency [speed of new product release]?

no idea [what Ms's is]

probably less than what IBM or ITT [ATT] had in their heydays

Both companies are mere ghosts of their past dominant status...

MS is headed down the same path

ITT killed themselves by underestimating the amount of legislative power they could wield, any of the strict constructionists out there care to argue against the legislation from the bench that brought about the demise? [I'm sure

IBM underestimated the potential market for PC's

all 3 are & will continue to be victims of their own arrogance

Being extremely difficult to determine whom owns what makes the assertion questionable as the greatest competition has often been a subsidiary.

Subsidiaries or no

It is clear

neither IBM or ITT enjoy the dominant market share[s] they have in the past

How many miscalculations can MS make, before they kill the goose that layed the golden egg

It's easy to make money when you're the only game in town...
