>> It certainly makes WP less appealing to a big portion of the population... Huh? It certainly makes Android less appealing. It means that Android users can't sync with MS Exchange. Microsoft Exchange has a 65% market penetration across all organizations, 75% in the medical industry, and something like 90% in the telecommunications industry, and this is actually expected to increase over the next few years. Exchange Server supports IMAP protocol, so they'll still be able to get e-mail. Just not to sync contacts and calendar. If MS actually gave a rats ass, I'm sure they'd develop their own Exchange client for Android on their own. You'd do better trolling fanboys... they are morons who don't know how things actually work. Google is shooting themselves in the foot on this one. Giving up the corporate market plays directly into Microsoft's hands. MS Exchange is king, and it rocks. Google is absolutely nowhere in the enterprise. But they do rule search. :)
