Microsoft has launched an updated version of the Windows Mobile homepage over on Microsoft.com, powered by Silverlight. While not big news in itself, this launch is part of Microsoft’s new project to better promote its consumer offerings, which under the old codename was referred to as FTP168.

its dedicated for promotion of windows mobile.. not for use on windows mobile.
I would like to see the basic OS in action though. This seems to be focused on office mobile, which is impressive but doesn't give a good feel for other things such as web browsing, placing a call, etc.
