They say Windows Mobile 7 launch is premature. The documentation is not complete and many things are not at all described and have to be asked to a marketing person, who asks a tech guy, etc
This is not unusual when working on a new or unreleased platform. I was the lead engineer on a PSP launch title and parts of the docs were still in Japanese, we had both windows & Linux tool chains that were buggy in different ways, and getting answers to most questions involved asking a guy in the US who would have it translated and sent on to Japan. Oh and we had one devkit between every two engineers for most of the project :)
PS3 was better, but still nothing you would describe as ideal.
Working on the first wave of software for a platform can be fantastically exciting and very rewarding, but on the flip side you're pretty much guaranteed to run into bugs and situations that no one foresaw.
