Mad New Messenger only to work with WM5

I read that the new Windows Live Messenger Mobile will only support WM5 devices.The One Note Mobile also only supports WM5.This is outrageous!Now WM2003SE is going to be useless because none of the new (and better) Microsoft software will work with it.For example,the new version of Word supports graphics.(This is Dell's fault for not offering X30 users the upgrade)Any hacks to trick this software into thinking an X30 runs WM5?Or a "compatibility mode" like that in XP that would let it run in "fake WM5"?Or a petition to Microsoft to make their software WM2003SE compatible.(OneNote and Live Messenger Mobile)

It seems it's a stupid policy from Microsoft to make the new software only available for the last OS. For example the Live Messenger for PC only works on XP SP2. :realmad:

While I can't say for sure (because honestly I don't know) ... but it could be a case of too hard to backport the application to run on an older version of the OS.

Its a crappy policy if they do it for any other reason ... but money makes the world go round in business.
