Hard as it is for a staunch Machead to say, I must admit: what I see of Windows Phone 7 is impressive.

No copy and paste, no backgrounding running of apps, but those might be forgivable for a 1.0 device. The user experience is very interesting, aiming to remove the distinction between the OS and the app to turn the phone into a more transformative device even than the iPhone and Android.

Time will tell if the phones themselves actually deliver a worthwhile experience, but this Is the first time in a very long time that a Microsoft product debut actually got me interested.

Also, amazingly, they're running ads that don't completely suck, even though the message is convoluted an aimed at older folks who haven't yet bought into the smartphone craze:
