    this OS is irrelevant... for anyone that owns a phone running Windows Mobile. Why? Because MS has said that it will not be released for ANY CURRENT DEVICES.

Meanwhile, Apple and Google and Nokia are continually releasing updates to their OS for all the existing products they sell - for free or for a nominal fee.

    When you buy a Microsoft-powered product, you're advertising to the world "I'm stupid and like to throw away my money".

        Will this open "edit locked/read only" files.
        Also will it support password protected files for M S Office?

          MS denied, denied... but at least, one day, it came. Just because they`re kind of lost.
