Right, but a phone by its very nature precludes the kind of deep functionality you need in a desktop replacement, which I have to assume Metro is supposed to be at some point? At least as serviceable as iOS? Using WP7 have you gotten any sense how, say, something like PowerPoint would work?

That which doesn't kill you weakens you slightly and makes you less able to cope until you're completely incapacitated
