edge - the problem of that he seems to expect WM6 to magically fix all of the perceived issues with his Axim, and calls anyone why says differently an idiot. This of NOT the case - WM6 Classic offers integrated Live Messenger, Live Search, and some interface enhancements. It does NOT include a real 'close' button from what I've read, does not offer better memory management, which is why WM5 crashes and burns...

It's basically Vista for PPC's and Smartphones - no major enhancements, more eye candy, a messenger program upgrade, and a misleading naming system. :) I've probably read the same articles you have, and see no major changes like the WM5 persistent storage. That and some interface enhancements are present... ones I have already via third-party programs.

Given Dell's historical lack of support for older devices after a OS change... I doubt we'll get WM6, and telling people who warn you it's a bad idea to hack a ROM when you have no programming knowledge, nor any of the drivers that they're idiots.. well, most of the daring and successful were at least EXPERIENCED people, if not trained in those fields. Most of those who weren't are forgotten as failures. ;) If he wants to brick his Axim, fine. Just don't post here complaining about it, especially after that RIP post.. as that means a replacement will soon become difficult to find.
