    I was abit disappointed I didn’t hear anything about Zune services for Mobile phones. But I guess today’s focus was on WM 6.5.

    I’m convinced that the My Phone service should be part of Windows Live. They better straighten this out before it leaves beta.

    No, it is a disaster and will probably remain so. Somehow, they don’t seem to understand that this service should have never been allowed to come about under a moniker other than Live. It should have synced to and from Live properties on Day 1. Why even have or the Mesh platform if they’re going to do silly things like this.
