And just when did Microsoft start dictating what programs could or couldn't be made available on Windows (any version)?

They certainly do on the 360 and the Zune devices.
Out of curiosity - how is your wimo's battery life? And how is browsing the internet on a small screen without multi-touch treating you? My previous experience with phone operating systems made me hate everything but the iPhone...when I tried to use wimo phones I couldn't stand them either. The lack of attention to usability drove me batty. But I'm one of
those people who can't stand things that don't make any fuggin sense. A perfectionist. And someone who takes delight in the beauty of the aesthetics of most apple devices. I'll of course admit that not everyone is like me, and for some people, freedom is more important.
Honestly, it used to be for me. I was a Gentoo user for 5 years. I had my freedom there, oh yes. And then I got busy and had no time to compile a new kernel whenever I wanted my new toy to work. And I bought an apple. A big compromise, yes. But there's always gentoo if I really need it. Or Android.
