Sure I do. Do you think that Dell has first-class programmers who do rocket-science developing drivers from scratch for very unique hardware components? I don't think so. They buy a package from Microsoft, they buy a specification and a sample driver for each component they use in the Axim, then click-here-click-there-press-a-button, and voila, here's the ROM image.

If they really had first-class programmers then the WM2003 fiasco (when the first ROM for the X5 was glacially slow) would never had happened.
