| ___________________________________________ [May 10,2011 11:07am - MillenialKingdom ""] Well that sucks. |
| ______________________________________ [May 10,2011 11:22am - xanonymousx ""] this is a pretty big deal for microsoft |
| _______________________________________ [May 10,2011 11:30am - the_reverend ""] this will be the google voice to m$'s winmo 7 |
| ______________________________________ [May 10,2011 11:33am - xanonymousx ""] yeah hopefully if they update it... im surprised apple didnt buy skype maybe they think facetime is better? how should i know. |
| _______________________________ [May 10,2011 11:48am - ark ""] Completely different. Another big buy for ms, if they're smart they would integrate into windows 8 free. |

| _______________________________________ [May 10,2011 12:55pm - the_reverend ""] have you touched it? winmo 7's UI is a big step forwards. I don't like a lot of things that they did to get there, but you can see the innovation that the tiles give you. plus, the speed is amazing. One thing is that all the OS's are going to get skype and gv integration, but the connections between their native companies will be better. iOS isn't going to get a native app like that since doing that is going to piss off the phone companies. |
| _______________________________________ [May 10,2011 12:58pm - the_reverend ""] this is also why phone companies are trying to screw you with other fees |
