This article would benefit tremendously from a proof-read. :/

isn't this a htc issue not a m$ issue? m$ don't make the roms htc did in this case.

No proof read needed, the article helps to convey the anger of a user stuck with yet another sloppy MS release on another crappy HTC device. I did roll out HTC devices to all my users, but have recently switched to iphones & the Nokia E71, support calls are almost zero.

lestat> Both are responsible, this is clear, but this is after all a MS Os not an HTC one...

What was said about the proof-read was true. However, as the other guy said, the purpose of the text. Angry user which has gone tired of the problems caused by m$ and HTC.

Well, anyway, lucky me, left M$ for Nokia. I love my choices. Big time.

You shouldn't have to download a cooked rom for any device, let alone something as finicky and mission critical as a mobile phone. I don't understand why Microsoft keep sucking so hard with Windows Mobile, surely it can't be that hard to put something semi-decent out?

Oh well, the more marketshare they lose to Apple, the more money Apple gets and the more cool hardware I get. Please Microsoft, keep sucking.

Sakul > I am used to install Cook Rom, however, they tend to put too much crap on their rom too... and some are very unstable...

Sad but true, the only way to have a proper WiMo Device is to install a cooked ROM from xda-developers.

At least some ppl on the world care for WiMo.

Why don't you sell the phone on eBay to rid of your frustration? Let someone who is more capable and knowledgeable to have such nice device.

Joshua> I am not reselling Press Product offered to me by HTC, I keep them... I finally reverted to a previous ROM and use my Touch HD alongside my iPhone

the pics you show are of the device before the rom is finished loading. Do you have any pics after everything is said and done? Don't the HTC devices that use enhanced graphics need certain drivers to work correctly that aren't included with the base winmo install? I would think it's just like installing an OS on a desktop with a video card windows wouldn't have drivers for. It's not really microsoft's fault so much as it's HTC's fault. MS doesn't customize the roms. They give HTC the rom and HTC customizes the roms for their devices.
