Windows Phone 7: Next of Kin Already Put on Deathwatch

The iPhone was released in 2007. This winter, Microsoft’s response, Windows Phone 7, will be released with no cut and paste, no multitasking and no Flash.  Microsoft has a history of stanching the arterial bleeding of its piss-poor consumer electronics with cash from its successful Windows, Office and Server businesses, so releasing a mediocre 1.0 product usually isn’t a problem.

It might be a problem if your 1.0 sucks ass, which if you believe the usually-pro-Microsoft InfoWorld, is exactly what Windows Phone 7 does.

Good thing they got some practice killing products recently. Might come in handy.
