Well, this is a small but welcome update: Microsoft’s new phone OS iss is here-to-forth to be referred to as ‘Windows Phone 7′, which is a welcome relief to those of us who have spent the last 2 months since it’s announcement trying to say ‘Windows Phone Seven Series’ over and over.

Seriously, I am amazed that Microsoft manages to stay alive given the idiocy of its marketing department.  The last few years we have seen a great improvement in Microsoft in terms of engineering, standards support, visual attractiveness and overall usability.  Concurrently, we have seen Bill Gates butt-wiggling and ‘Churros’ with washed up comedians and absolutely inane product names (seriously, just look at that URL).
