The WP7 team took a huge number of top performers from the Exchange and OCS teams. And so far, those folks are still on the WP team. Therefore, I believe that MSFT is still fully committed to the platform. It’s when you start seeing top people move away from the team (other than a few each year with normal career changes) that it is time to start worrying. We’ve seen this in lots of product deaths over the years.
All IMHO. I have no inside information. Blah blah. Etc. etc. Regards, Michael B.

Well, most of us change phones every 1-2 years anyway. So if WP7 goes away in that period, I’ll survive. :-) But I’d be very, VERY surprised if that happened. Microsoft appears to be extremely committed to this platform. And it’s in the process of taking off as we speak.

Wait to if it actually takes off. No one wants to buy a phone that won't be supported in a year from now. Its the Zune/Kin issue. -- Sent from Kaiten Mail for Android. Please excuse my brevity.

It was a solid platform out of the gate (I’ve had a WP7 phone for nearly a year). With the Mango update that just came out, some rough edges were polished and the platform really shines. There’s nothing I want to be able to do with my WP7 phone that I can’t do—although obviously everyone has differing needs. WP7 gives choice (like Android) without fragmentation (like iPhone). It’s the best of both worlds.
