Windows Mobile 7 Celebration: Biggest Hubbub Since Windows 95?

You have to know that the smart-ass comments are going to start flying over this but you know what? Screw ‘em guys, you’ve worked hard on both Windows 7 and Windows Phone 7, not to mention the soon to launch IE9 Beta, so if you want to do a little Michael Jackson Thriller or act as pallbearers you go right ahead.

Which is exactly what happened today at the Microsoft campus in Redmond. Here’s a couple of pictures from the event courtesy of MSNBC.

[Editor’s Note: Microsoft employees get all Thriller in celebration of Windows Phone 7 is a post from: winextra. As a side note, I think it’s important for those who were around to see the fanfare around Windows 95 that this is the biggest buildup of anticipation for any Microsoft product we’ve seen since those days. –mrh]
