Why couldn't Dell just throw up their drivers in the WM6 SDK from MS's website and release it as beta.

At least we could get it up and running somewhat. And at aximsite we usually fix the problems ourselves anyway.

I've seen companies release unsupported updates that are "Use at your own risk" type deals.

As big as Dell is, I just can't see them walking off the playing field without a final upgrade. Dell has always been good with supporting future upgrades, which is why I chose them over other brands. The thing is, when your closing down a section of your company, you want to do it right before you leave or else it will haunt your company for time to come.

For instance Toshiba. I bought my e740 for $750. And 6 months later it was left to die. Well I'll never buy from Toshiba now. Same goes for Dell. You gotta finish the job right or else you'll never get the chance to fix it later. Dell makes great products and I've supported them even though sometimes they didn't support me. Dell doesn't want a bad rep. I'm sure they'll do us all right before ending there handheld chapter.
