Windows 7 changed the game for Windows desktop computing. Windows Mobile 7 will change the game for mobile computing.
In a shocking departure from Windows Mobile 6.5, which looks like a dinosaur in today’s market, Microsoft changed the game entirely. Microsoft started from scratch to make what is looking like a great new mobile operating system. The new layout resembles nothing that has been seen before. Instead of graphic oriented content that you see with most mobile operating system’s right now, Windows Mobile 7 is primarily information text oriented. The layout is simple and easy to use.
This is a great move for Microsoft as it will move the operating system to the main stream. However, some users might not enjoy the move. Business users, who primarily use Windows Mobile operating systems are used to more control. Microsoft is leading away from this control in order to move closer to what other operating systems are doing. Time will tell if they will lose business audience because of this move, or if they will be another big competitor with the iPhone and Android operating systems.
