Mobility Site - View Single Post - If and when it's available, will you upgrade to WM2005?

Unless it's $80 or something absurd I'll upgrade. It can't be a whole lot worse than WM2003se, which seems to be teetering right on the edge of "old PPC mentality" (i.e. PIM device with a movie player and some games) and "new PPC mentality" (i.e. full featured computer that fits in your pocket). I'm hoping that WM2005 will finally push these devices away from palm pilot status to true Pocket PCs. Don't get me wrong, WM2003se, or for that matter windows CE in general, is miles ahead of basic address book functionality, but I think (and hope) that WM2005 is when we really start seeing these things shine as the powerful little computers that they really are. VGA support from the get go (unlike the patch that SE is), 3D accelerator support and other nifty stuff like that are gonna be nice.
