I've been searching through these forums quite a bit of late, and found that WM5 has a good many bugs in it still. So my question is will MS fix the incompatability problems with WM5 and various software and devices? This sticky in this forums states that some software dosent work with WM5 is this just temporary or will these progams never work for WM5? As for devices, will the device maker have to write new drivers for their device for it to work on WM5 or will some sort of fix be offer at some time by MS to fix driver incompatability issues?

It isn't MS that needs to make changes to make third party programs work. It is the third party vendors that need to update their software to work with the changes in WM5.

I think thats the most logical thing to do.

Is it the same deal with CF devices, or is there some sort of mechanism that isnt work atm with WM5 that will be or can be fixed later on to make devices that work with WM2003SE work on WM5?

If by CF devices you mean memory cards sometimes disapearing, that does need to be fixed by Dell/Microsoft.

If anything else, if they come with drivers to install, then that company needs to update the drivers.

Yes i was initially refering to CF devices such as cameras, but what is this about disappearing CF card?
