Won't this just be part of their 'cloud' operating system they intend to create (e.g. for travelling users)?

Your thread title is flawed. Just because Microsoft applied for a patent doesn't mean they'll make it a product; it's only to stop anyone else doing it.

Stop being so sensationalist.

No they haven't :confused:

Nowhere do Vodafone charge me for the amount I use Windows Mobile, likewise, o2 don't bill be for playing with Series 60.

They charge me LINE RENTAL, which is fair enough as that is THEIR service, outside of my own device.
