MS to release WM2005 this Tuesday??

MS wm2005 will be released next Tue (05/10/2005). Next batch X50v may ship with WM2005. From the previous experience, Dell may or may not release the wm2005 update for old x50v users. Even there is update coming, Dell may charge a premium for it.

Dell is eager to clear out this batch x50v. If you don't buy it for eBay profit, try to wait a few days.

Sorry for the post & run, but, is there any validity to this man's claims? How did he come with up with a date of this Tuesday?

It's gonna be on a sliding scale, rigged by a bunch of young whippersnappers who still believe the rule stands at 30+ years old.

Ok....then I would heartily recommend that anyone wanting to buy an X50 wait until Bubba Mike and the gang have Magneto installed & bug-free before you buy your X50. That way you won't have to worry about whether you're too old or not to get the Update.

Me personally, I'm gonna wait for WM2kX, Codename: Xavier. I want mine to be all good!!!

Ok, I read that. Coupl' a comments - does that photo show SPB Pocket Plus as bundled with the OS or did MS just copy the icons ? Note that when *I* read the article , *I* read that MS was going to show the product at a trade show on Tuesday; unless I missed something, I would think there could be a significant delay before they actually deliver the product. But I have not been following this.

They sure have some lame, immature posters over there; not like here where everyone is mature and considerate.

p.s. my comment about people on Aximsite being mature had nothing to do with age or certain people being over 49. really .
