Crossbow Closely Tied to Exchange 12 & Office 12

The newest version of the Windows Mobile platform currently being developed will have close ties to both Office 12 and Exchange 12. The platform, codenamed “Crossbow” will be the latest attempt from Microsoft to gather more than their 16% market share in the mobile OS market.
Microsoft is developing a new mobile OS code-named “Crossbow”. The OS will incorporate features such as instant messaging on public and private networks. Furthermore it will have strong links with Office 2007 and Exchange 12, Microsoft’s pending new office application suite and e-mail server. Crossbow will be the successor to Windows Mobile 5.0, released in May 2005.
I’m imagining a day when I can be as “connected” and aware of the data and documents related to my business away from my desk and on the road as I am when I’m sitting at my desk. I think we’re pretty close now, but it’s not quite as seamless and intuitive as it needs to be and could be in the future.
