Is MS gonna remove the other OS install on the Win7 Phone?

MS is just trying to hang out with the "Cool Crowd" They know they got nothing they can do since by law you can Jailbreak phones.... so I don't really see what you guys are prasing MS for.... MS know its gonna happen, we know its gonna happen, hotz knows its gonna happen. MS wanted publicity and thats a cheap way to do it. If I was Hotz I would actually be pissed there using me for publicity.  But we all know pirates have no souls.

Sony had something to protect its a little bit different, and by a little bit i mean a lot different.

(i didnt see this response before)

What OS... the OS is windows 7 on the win7 phone. Dont troll the phone please.

No, your right they can't do anything so they would rather meet this guy head on and go look, you are gonna get one anyway, take your pick of the ones we have, here have a developer kit and tutorials. Have a ball.

As opposed to some companies simply trying to fight him, if you try to fight this guy, the track record is you will lose. Again MS is not stupid. They are a massive company for a reason.

I am not saying Apple and Sony are stupid, they just didnt have the track record. Sony thought they were safe because they hadnt been modded for 2-3 years. Apple is not stupid, they were the first attacked.

MS first version of the 360 was hacked, not to the extent of the ps3 now but it was so you could burn. They will pick their battles, it is not a pr stunt imo. It doesnt even sniff of it.

Bolded: That was kind of a joke cause..... Sony.... nvm...

Its LEGAL to jailbreak phone.... Not PS3... not yet anyways... MS is just trying to get in the spotlight with this crap....
