When people complain that Microsoft is trying too hard to mimic Apple, they’re weren’t kidding. In recent Q&A’s with the WinPhone 7 team, it was made pretty darn clear that at least at launch, copy&paste wouldn’t be anywhere near the OS. Did Microsoft seriously live in a cave during the last 2 years Apple played this stupid game?! Geeze, I just gave M some praise earlier for the progess they seem to be making. And now they go and do something stupid stuff like this. There’s no excuse — nothing but poor planning on their part.
Though as we saw, the lack of such basic copy&paste functions hardly stopped people from snapping up iPhones. Microsoft doesn’t have that Apple mystique however. This holiday gadget shopping season will certainly be interesting no doubt.
Will Windows Phone 7′s lack of copy&paste have you holding off until they catch up with 2003 or did you already whether that storm with the first case of stupidity?
