With all the effort Microsoft has put into developing products that manage clients, its about time that its mobile clients were included into the mix. It's a shame that the product, MDM, works only with Windows Mobile 6.1, particularly because it has only just been released and won't even be out on new phones until mid-year. Would have been better if it supported the hoards and hoards of existing devices already out there.

Upgrade 6.0 to 6.1 - not for many
the list of phones that will get the 6.0 to 6.1 upgrade seems very, very small when you consider the number of 6.0 devices. I don't see the Shadow, Dash and others from T-Mo on the list...
Also... if I buy a phone for my use (even if my employer pays for some of the calls) why the heck would I want to allow some network administrator decided to cripple my camera or what apps I can install - the carriers already do a good enough job of neutering handsets.
I hope WM7 does a half way decent job of competing with the iPhone or Nokai S60 devices or MS might as well give up and go home
