Ed, for me, the more important thing will be how well the new WP7 actually works.
If MS can produce a phone that is well tested in the field/wild, with a strong feature set that puts it in direct competition with the iPhone 4, then I, myself, will give it a whirl INSTEAD of the iPhone.
I think MS did a good job testing Windows 7 in the "wild," and the profits they've made on Windows 7 show in black ink JUST how good of a move it was for them.
I soooo wanted the new iPhone 4 for when my contract with Bell Canada renews this Fall. Not so sure anymore ... and the fact is, there are a LOT of ppl that are wondering now. (Did you find the attitude that was portrayed by Steve Jobs' post press conference comments a bit odd for a man who would like to be considered customer-centric?)
Remember the good ole' days, Ed? (Commodore, etc.) when things weren't perfect, but man they performed for their time. No update button on those puppies ...
Yes, get great WP7 apps out ... but test the WP7 extensively with everyday ppl. The money will roll in...AGAIN.
