Anyone Running WM5.0?

Friend sent me a copy of WM5.0. Not sure if I'm going to install. Wanted to see if anyone was using & thoughts.

I would be to scared to install it, I would just wait for the upgrade to come from HP. You probably want to wait until software you use is also compatible with 5.0.

I wouldn't install it. Too much of a chance of turning your device into a paperweight. The upgrade should be available within the next 2-3 months (touch wood).

For which device? See all the previous warnings above,,,If HP hasn't officially released it for your device,you're on your own if you attempt to install it. It boils down to do you trust your friend and his source of unoffically released (hacked/prirated???) software.

swhoutx035 is right. It hasn't oficially been released to the public yet. It is like getting Windows Longhorn right now...not supported and illegal. When you buy your PPC, you're buying the license for Windows Mobile 2002, 2003...WM5 isn't out yet so it's illegal.

If you do install it, and it fries your PPC, don't plan on HP helping you too much...
