Default WP7S Jailbreak?

I will start out by saying I really don;t know how a jailbreak works, so I don't know if this is a dumb question or not. It looks like WP7S is going to be a crippled OS like the iPhone. So if a jailbroken iPhone can multitask (fully) and use unapproved apps, why not WP7S? It's very sad that the latest iteration of WinMo requires the asking of questions like these...

We are no where even close to seeing how locked down it is or if an easy jailbreak will be possible. It's way too soon to tell. We won't be finding this out until people actually start getting devices in hand. You need to ask this in about 8 more months xD.

It really just depends on what Microsoft feels like. Apple didn't know what they were doing, and thats why its easy to jailbreak. (Think XBOX 1).

Microsoft has already done all the research and learned all their lessons with the xbox 360. If they decide to apply that technology to the phones, than they will absolutely not be jailbreakable.

On the other hand, licensing fees for the 360 are much more lucrative than the mobile phones, so they might decide that it just isn't worth the 10-30 dollars per phone to implement something that sophisticated. In which case, they'll do something half-assed, and jailbreaking will be relatively easy.

If you want a WP7 jailbreak just send $40 to my paypal and I'll do it for you.

Don't take the above serious.

There's no such thing.
Jailbreak = Apple

I know someone will PM about that if I don't put disclaimer.
