Post No WM support for xperia from SE

An interesting article in gizmodo

http://gizmodo.com/5050322/se-xperia...ot-use-windows

In a small blow to Microsoft's smartphone market dreams, Sony Ericsson has refused to confirm that their spanking new Xperia line will continue shacking up with the Windows Mobile platform. The heartless cad of a company insisted that it not commit to any specific operating system, presumably because it'd be doing the world a disservice if it allowed itself to be tied down. Hmm, sounds like some of the dudes I've dated. What are the chances M'soft will also have to shoulder hysterical 3am phone calls begging for a second chance at making the relationship work?

Just because they do not confirm it does not mean they won't use WM anymore in the future.
As SE said on the webcast yesterday, they do not comment on future devices at all. So not confirming WM for the future Xperia devices means nothing and can't be interpreted in either one or the other direction.
