Did anyone else catch this quiet announcement?
"It looks like Microsoft's making it a little bit easier for manufacturers to release updates to Windows Mobile 6. The company is giving free licenses to any vendors who issue upgrades for their devices. Just because the license is free doesn't mean manufacturers won't charge the consumer. Customizing Windows Mobile 6 for each device is still a lot of work."
Hopefully this should stop HTC from saying that the reason they are not planning to offer WM6 upgrades for existing phones is due to "licensing issues". Although, they will probably just come up with some other excuse. 8^(
