>In this case, who cares? The market is moving to mobile devices driven by vendors who don't give a proverbial about NET, or about SQL Server for that matter. The most deployed database in the world is sqlite which is an absolutely dominant force by now and IMHO you'd be a fool to consider anything else for a mobile app at this stage unless you're using cloud in which case you go with the provider who offers the best terms. So far WP7 doesn't have an accessible database at all but when it does get one it'll be something proprietary as usual that the market largely will ignore. This is the current reality and whether YAG was a senior exec or your accusations were appropriate or personalized or not, who cares? I certainly don't.
What concerns me the most about WP7 is a rumor I heard. I'm calling it a rumor because I haven't seen it in writing anywhere (yet). Supposedly, all apps must go through the market. Even private business apps. And then only 3 are allowed to be free. So a company that wants to write a private app for internal use by their employees has to distribute it through the market. I'm told this is because there is no officially approved means of installing except through the market. That's CAN'T be accurate, but that is what I heard. I'm waiting for some clarity or something in writing from MSFT...what about mobile versions of business apps? I'm told through the market as well. Right now a lot of companies have lightweight CE Mobile versions of their apps. I can't see (unless something changes or it can be clarified) the same being done for WP7 devices...
