WP Mango multi tasking is not at its top. you can run 6 apps at the time and when the list increases older application will be removed from list and you have to start it manually as reported in gsmarena review. and i dont think it is a good thing.

You are joking, are you?

See that article:
"Mango’s multitasking uncovered and hands on!
...
You’ll be able to have up to 5 apps open and “multitasking”, and once you open a new application, the last app will be bumped off your multitasking list."

That's not multitasking, that's a bad joke.
If MS listened to the users, the users probably did not dare to demand more.

I very often have more than 5 programs opened which continue
in the background and my N900 does only slow down
depending on which programs run.

I always wondered why people are satisfied with such a nothingness but somehow I get used to it from all the Windows users around me. :-/

Granted, Nokia did many things right in the first place, so listening to the userbase would have created warm feelings, but was not really top priority.

There is no need to mourn the death of the "truely open phone"-paradigm, because it just never existed.
But at least Nokia made a real OS on the N900 which does not
fade out after 5 "apps" and talks about "multitasking".
It is important that I can decide how many programs are running and if my N900 slows down it is _my_ fault and not the fault of such
a Mango-bullsh.. .

I always demand more.
MS failed to deliver constantly and I am getting angry when I see how MS gets away with that.

(Nokia failed also, but at least I can decide whether to do real multitasking.)

You and I may demand real stuff.

But there are some people out there who do not know better.

They used MS crap for decades now.
They do not wonder why their machine is slow(Edit: well they started wondering with Vista).
They do not wonder why MS talks about "multitasking" when the
6th program is kicked of some "multitasking list".

Grrrr...I am really getting angry about that.

PLUS: when is the last time you paid for an app you installed on your N900?
If a program (I refuse to babble about "apps") is good, I really
like to pay/donate/whatever.

200% sure, it's not, repeat not, available on Linux/GNU...
how comes?
Because there would be the possibilty (depending on license) that someone may want sources.
And if you look at these sources then:

Wuaaah.
Working for MS would make me vomit all day.
Unless they pay 100k bucks.
Per day. ;-)

Because Microsoft still reigns supreme in regards to user share.

You are right: people don't know better.

He is talking about pure pain.
The pain to use MS.
The pain to see others using MS everyday and complaining. ;-)

So back to "multitasking" and WP7.

I deny that the last four words are true for MS programs (maybe except the notepad).

Nokia Lumia 800 and N9 [...] (ZDNet)
[...]
Here is why the N9 is for me

After using the Lumia 800 for a day, I am happy to say that it makes my Nokia N9 purchase even more valid and justifiable. Here is why I personally prefer the N9 over the Lumia 800 for use in the U.S. on T-Mobile:

* 3G data on T-Mobile, AT&T, and around the world (a true Nokia world phone)
* Double tap to turn on display without needing to ever press the on/off button
* Multi-tasking beast where I have had over 27 apps running at once with a slick display to switch between them
* Time shown on black screen when locked (sometimes the simple things mean a lot)
* Awesome swipe to go to a notification (starting to get bothered by no real meaningful notifications in Windows Phone)
* Integrated services and ability to interact with them (WP has many of these too, but MeeGo still does it better)
* Swype keyboard is coming soon, along with other great updates not delayed by carriers
* Being part of a very enthusiastic community of a device that the community refuses to let die out
different day same old m@de$h!t ¦-)

even more in line with what we m$ detractors have been pointing to...
What does the future hold for Microsoft’s business model?
[...]
The late offering led analysts to predict Windows Phone 7 will fail to increase Microsoft's share in the smartphone market, with Nokia's Symbian and Google's Android OS dominating the worldwide mobile OS market by 2014, according to Gartner.

The research firm forecasts that open source platforms will dominate, accounting for over 60% of the market for smartphones in 2010, with Android becoming the top OS in the US by the end of 2011. Gartner ranks Windows Phone behind Symbian, Android, Apple's iOS, RIM's Blackberry and Linux-based MeeGo in its 2014 OS ranking forecast - a drop from fifth place in 2010.

"The market is consolidating around three or four platforms - and Microsoft is not one of those," says Gartner analyst Roberta Cozza.
[...]
Totgesagte leben länger as the saying goes... ¦-)
however that may turn out to be, even MeeGo ending up before m$
who knows how many N9s or N9x0s we will still see
