The operating system is expected to be a significant revamp of Microsoft's current mobile platform, but reports say it won't be in customer hands until fall of 2010 -- while a relatively small 6.5 update is due next month.

    As a Senior level C++ Software Developer I'm NOT surprised at all! These things are at the core of Microsoft's problems:

    - overall arrogance of Microsoft;
    - poor quality of implementation;
    - over-complexity of algorithms;
    - inconsistency with Win32 API for different platforms;
    - inability to create bugs-free codes.

    What else could you expect after putting all these things together?
