    Spoken like someone who has never owned a Windows phone.

No. I've only tinkered around with my brother-in-law's, and it was pretty ho-hum. That's why I think MS should just spin off their own enterprise version of Android. There's no way that they are going to be able to catch up with Windows Mobile, or a any other de novo mobile OS.

    but the Windows machine I use to tweak my bike is XPSP3 and will stay that way forever.

After years with a ThinkPad that I wiped Vista off of for XPSP3, I was very happy to get a Lenovo with Windows 7. 7 is like XPSP3 without the excruciatingly slow boot. My only mistake was not getting the SSD version. Windows 7 on a SSD laptop, and I think I'd be set for five more years at least.
