I agree on the part where Windows Mobile was neglected, but how is the dumbphone OS WP7 even supposed to be a horse where the smartphone OS WM6.5 was a donkey?

Windows Mobile 5+ was a [not so good] smartphone platform at a time when few other phones really were smartphones. There's so many missing features in Windows Phone 7, it competes with S40... T'is pretty much run on MP3 player firmware.

I say, Windows Mobile was a tired old mare of bad breeding, but Windows Phone 7's daddy wasn't a horse at all. I think Windows Phone 7 is looking awfully much like a sterile mule here.
