Hmmm - probably all fair points. I wasn't really aiming to go there with my reply - just to point at a useful tips post that might help jerry with his battery issues.
I guess if I think about it, I don't know that I would recommend a WM5 powered device to someone who 'just wants it to work' - not yet anyway. Not sure the comparison with a car is that useful - cars haven't changed that dramatically in say the last 5 years. Little safer, a little more all designed the same and boxy looking, nothing real revolutionary. PDAs / PCs on the other hand, change at an incredible pace - your Axim has the spec of a high-end workstation 5 years ago. So I think I'm just a little more willing to live with the idea that if I want devices that are smaller, faster, slicker, and that can do 101 new things every time we blink, I can handle some bumps in the road when using them.
Also - probably very much in the minority here - but I don't think MS has released a whole lot lately that is half-baked. I think Windows Server 2003 and XP in particular are pretty solid, baked products.
