It's time to retire her and let her become a riding pony for awhile, then put her out to pasture. WP7 is a 2-year-old who hasn't won its first maiden race yet but is showing good early speed and has just been claimed by an owner who's pairing her with one of the world's top trainers. The horse also has a superb pedigree/genes. Once the horse's few problems are ironed out she stands to be a formidible competitor on the track.
But the WM7 "horse" has a blood lineage tracing back to donkeys such as WM6.5, 6.1, 6.0, 5.1 that was fully neglected for too many years and Microsoft did sweet F all to maintain it (still running on Pocket IE4/6!!).

How many people owned the HTC WinMO's who instantly converted to Android overnight when the hack was available?

Thats why this "horse" Winmo is destined to lose.. because its family has already hit rock bottom and will repeat itself again with that track record!
