Okay, here is the deal; a lot of people own Windows Mobile smart phones.
It is a well used mobile operating system, and it is made by one of the largest developers in the world; Microsoft. These smart phones tend to be well made, powerful and of course, pretty expensive –which makes the fact that it is not “upgradeable” to the new Windows Phone 7 series extremely hard to swallow.
One thing many people realize that despite that fact that Windows Mobile is currently at version 6.X, the “7” in the 7 series has nothing to do with that number. Windows Phone 7 is simply the latest mobile platform that Microsoft has made, it is not, however, an upgraded Windows Mobile OS. WP7 is a completely new OS.
What this means for owners of the older WinMo OS is the grave concern that they are now holding what might be the end of the road for the older MS mobile platform. This worry is the reason why owners of the HTC HD2 smart phone are unable to come to terms with the announcement that their device will not be able to run WP7.
There is however, some good news for owners of Windows Mobile series 6. It has already been confirmed that MS will continue supporting the older OS and will be renaming it as Windows Phone Classic. Many are speculating that WP Classic will serve as Microsoft’s primary business model platform.
It has already been rumored early on that Microsoft would be presenting two new platforms –a media based OS for general users and a business-centric one for enterprise clients. With WP7 focusing on media integration and social networking, it will be up to WP Classic to fill in the need of the business market.
