If they had done that, I am sure you would have commented here saying it looks like a cheap imitation. Have you actually used the phone?

- bad_user 16y agoThat's my problem with Microsoft software ... they get hyped months or years in advance with nobody actually using the damn product. And when a product is hyped, you've got to expect a backslash when it doesn't support basic functionality people got accustomed to. I also think that if third-party integration like Twitter will be less than what Facebook got ... WinMo 7 is basically screwed.
- steverb 16y agoMy understanding is that any app can register itself for any of the hubs, so I don't see any technical reason why a twitter app can't go in the people hub. No clue whose over-sight it is that the twitter app isn't already there.

- DjDarkman 16y agoThere are stuff that these OS-es got right, and there is no known better way. Not doing the same just for the sake of not being called a copycat is a stupid thing to do. The perfect counter argument for these is: "that's what people were used to" This all only holds up if there is no known better way.
