O/S releases for the PPC platform are not like O/S releases for the PC platform where users can simply buy the new O/S and install it on their PC. Operating systems for PPC are inherently tied to specific devices. Not to say future O/S releases won't be more PC like where they may allow the user to buy & install on their own, but WM6.0 is still based on the Win CE5 kernal and I don't believe there will the ability for consumers to simply go out and buy the O/S.
