So, Microsoft announced the release of WM 7 at MWC2010. Like a lot of people this is the one I've been waiting for, WM6.5 being just a gap filler. It looks like this release could be the one where MS gets all their ducks in a row, although it seems that they won't allow custom interfaces over their OS anymore, so what you see is what you get.

Also, you will only be able to install new programs from their own Marketplace, much like Apple's Appstore, but I'm not sure this will be a good thing, seeing as it could stifle other developers. Only time will tell whether they have got it right this time, but for now I can't wait to get my hands on a mobile running it.
