well, first, they need to rework the GUI a lot, second, they need to make the GUI work in a way that it would appeal to a mass market, it's all about the user interface with mobile devices, all they are doing is slapping services and features in there in a cluster fucked presentation. If they fix that at least, then I'd be way more interested, I'm just a normal consumer when it comes to smart phones, and I don't like what I'm looking at. So it's disappointing to me at this point in time, there is of course time for it to improve, and it does lack innovation, I have said nothing wrong as they are really just my opinion on this new OS.

*** FACEPALM ***

They are basically using the ZuneHD UI, which people have already had their hands on for quite a while and the majority of people thinks it rocks.  It is actually fun to use.

That was one of the reasons why I didn't get a Zune HD though, I was following that for awhile too, then I saw the GUI and I was like....... Still sticking to the Jailbroken iPhone 3GS for now. Still waiting for the next WoW killer, still waiting for the iPhone killer, still waiting for many killers, nowhere in my sights. =(

Well, it makes sense for you to stick with what floats your boat.

stop talking to the troll



dahuman on 17 February 2010

uh, it's not like not I'm bluntly bashing without reasons or things that make no sense, it's more like people usually only want to see or hear what they wish to, anything against what they think and it's automatically an enemy, or on the internet forums, a troll, which is not true. You really think I haven't messed with this kinda of GUI and compared this to what Apple had to offer? I can clearly also tell you that iPad is fucking bull shit and nobody should ever buy it because it has 0 innovation and a huge burden that serves no good purpose, it's all just clear logic to me.

This confirms that Windows phone OS 7.0 supports multitasking.

 

 

This image confirms XNA and Silverlight support.
