After 11 days with WP7, I'm not overwhelmed or sold entirely, but I'm also somewhat impressed because of its speed and ease of use - the UI is an extension of one of my favorite UI's in the last few years - Zune HD basically.

But that's me.
I hear crystalmeth is good - but buggered if I'm going to spend a week using it to see if it is all it is cracked up to be. I've seen what happens to people who do.

MS Windows products are like a drug, when you start, it seems easy and fun - life is seen through rose-tinted specs - but after a while you find things aren't quite as rosy as they seemed at first. You have to buy more stuff to keep getting the same effect. Eventually it hardly works at all, and they bring a new designer drug onto the market, and you have to pay up to start getting a hit from this new gear instead. The dealer is quite jealous about making sure you buy his gear, rather than from his competitors, or even getting free highs. Using stuff from other suppliers makes you sick, things stop working properly, you break down and you crash.

The only solution is complete withdrawal, to go cold turkey.

Mish.
