Why does Windows Mobile let you synchronize your device with many computers and only one Exchange Server? Why does it only let you synchronize one Mail account, when you can have many?.. I can continue this list, but… I guess these are all rhetorical questions.

One thing is pretty obvious though: Microsoft is already an Internet loser. When Bill Gates was writing his books about how everything would be Internet-based, few young folks from Stanford University were doing their job of transforming the future into reality. It’s even ridiculous: why predict the future of technology and refuse to do something real valuable in that direction?

And Microsoft is already trying to catch up with their mobile OS technology (read about windows mobile 6.5, 7.0). Because at this point they are well behind their competitors.
I personally tend to think that Android is by far the most perspective system… We’ll wait and see.

 

Why does Microsoft always have to come up with their f-in’ proprietary formats so that it becomes hard to impossible to support devices and systems on other platforms? Now, I know why and so do you…

I’m talking about synchronisation of Windows Mobile devices with non-Windows platforms. Theoretically, it is possible, but… There are lots and lots of complications along the road. This creates poor user experience and a lot of frustration. Why not make ActiveSync an open protocol for an engineering world!? People have to hack and reverse-engineer things when they could just have a nice and complete specification. This way, Linux, Mac, users would be able to use all functionality of their devices. And I’m sure that a lot more people would be willing to purchase WM Devices.

I wish Google Android had complete MS Exchange support. Once it happens, I’ll dump my WM phone and buy some nice Google Android device :) .
