A friendly "please remove" would have worked in my book especially as MoDaCo is well known to MS

Well technically someone from within MS had already done that, but I was not comfortable about censoring a user's post in that way without being able to justify my actions as shown above.

Reasonable I thought.. of course, would have been totally different if I personally had posted the info...

I can't see how posting a screenshot is breaking a copyright law. The press are entitled to publish pictures snapped from behind a fence etc. Would be different if you'd posted the source code to Windows Mobile though...

I guess its in case any other OS writers decide to model the graphics of their next OS on Windows Mobile 2005.... Seems a bit extreme though if you ask me.

They're some ingrates if you ask me. The word-of-mouth from communities like this one is their bread and butter, especially in the case of Smartphone.

Interests:The details of my life are quite inconsequential... very well, where do I begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds- pretty standard really. At the age of twelve I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum... it's breathtaking- I highly suggest you try it.

Also used in Lean On Me with Morgan Freeman (not that we all needed to know that).

But I would think that Microsoft would be ok with a few images about their up-and-coming ROM since it will entice people to begin saving and looking for it.

I'm 'said' to be boring, unsociable, and impolite...

So "MS Internet Investigator" should be a walk in the park for me. - where do I apply?

On the subject of whether it's legal or not to show images of the 2005 ROM, it probably is. However, MS being what it is could easily cripple an individual and certainly their website through the courts. It's a pity, but I don't blame Paul for folding.

Could probably consider a legal counter attack based on the fact that MS were using the courts "with menace" though

I'm sure the photos alone must have been worth a few hundred grand income, or not.

I can see the headlines now: "Windows Mobile Website Sues Microsoft!"

I think if that happened Paul would probably not keep his MvP status much longer and wouldnt get any more invites to Mobius!! :-"
