Windows Phone 7 Lacks Copy-and-Paste

[wraggster]

In a behind-the-scenes look at Windows Phone 7 (photos), CNET's Ina Fried notes that Microsoft's new software has won early praise for breaking ground in some areas, but takes a step backward in others. In particular, it doesn't support features like copy and paste and multitasking that were already part of the old Windows Mobile. 'I think users use cut-copy-paste periodically,' said Microsoft exec Terry Myerson, '(but) there's other things they use more frequently.' Hey, tradeoffs had to be made — it was either copy-and-paste or Goo Splat

WTF? Remove copy and paste? No more multitasking? That's retarded! I mean, it took Apple long enough to put those features in their OS so why for Microsoft to go backward on theirs? Oh well, if Microsoft is fixed on taking them out, I'm sure the wonderful lot at Xda-Developers will work out a way to put them back. Custom phone roms FTW!
