Just when we thought Microsoft had said it all with the recent announcement of Windows Mobile 7, they come to us with another new tidbit of gossip. Remember that aging OS they use? The one everyone has all but have given up on? Yes i’m talking Windows Mobile 6.5. Well Mashable is reporting that instead of letting it discontinue gracefully, Microsoft will re-brand it as “Windows Mobile Classic”. A spokesperson for Microsoft had this to say:

Whereas WP7S will be aimed squarely at consumers, the strategy for Windows Phones Classic will shift to emerging markets and the enterprise

Basically, as most of us knew, Microsoft is positioning WM7 as a consumer platform and keeping Windows Mobile 6.5 Classic geared toward the corporate end. While they didn’t give specifics on what developmental direction the OS would take, they said that the recent update to 6.5.3 was a good sign of whats to come.

What do you think? Still willing to go back to Windows? Or has that ship sailed? Let us know!
