I thought hackers are smart.. what is this plunker doing? why ugly vista on this beautiful device?

Enough its on that garbage called HTC and others... yuuuk.

Mico$oft are just pissed that somebody bet them to it

they were probably panning on doing exactly this look for their (iPhone killing) ZunePhone™

Bwhahahaahhah

in all seriousness though, even though I wouldn't touch windows even if you put a loaded gun to my head I kinda like how that picture looks

First of all, why on Earth would anyone ever want to make their iPhone look like a Microsoft product. Why? Again, why?

Secondly, if Microsoft is thinking for one minute that this would somehow take away from a supposed :iPhone killer: ZunePhone they can think again. They couldn't get a foothold in the mp3 player market, what makes them think for a second that throwing a phone into the mix is going to work?

Microsoft needs to realize that they are, have been. and always will be a day late and a dollar short. They should just stick to making money by selling in volume, because innovation clearly is not their middle name.

PS Why do I always have to enter the CAPTCHA 5 times before it sticks? Can you get a better one? This new one stinks. And yes, I'm "respecting upper/lower case".

for once, m$ did a good job!
it kept that ugly thing away from a beatuful device!

A ha ha... what fresh hell is this? That is one hella fugly interface. As above, Microsoft did the world a favour. Poor guy.

Why would anyone want to run this Windows garbage on their iPhone. What a waste of perfectly good talent. Create a good iPhone app and people will buy it.

what I would have liked to see is a completely NEW sort of interface instead of the freaking visa.

...because people who looked at it were turning to stone.
