The web-based Marketplace will let its users select and buy any of those 17,000 apps available on its platform on a web browser and can be transferred to their Window phone over the air. The option of using SMS in case of non availability of the web marketplace service is a smart move from Microsoft thus enabling its users to turn on the broadcasted service before even the software is downloaded and installed. Also the company expecting the users to install the apps in the background is fair enough. Another milestone set by the PC giant and also a challenge for the androids is the Multitasking feature on the Mango OS. The prime focus of Mango being the is also something to look out for enhanced cloud integration and better platform tools for developers is a noteworthy highlight.

Microsoft is trying hard with the window7.5 phone to stand apart for good from the mobile space kings (ANDROID and Apple) but, may be Microsoft will still have to wait for the features of much awaited iOS 5 and Ice Cream sandwich to be disclosed. Apart from the IE9 browser, there are 2 features among the reported 500 features of Mango, those are Quick Cards and Local Scout. Though both the features are identical, the Local Scout will give the info about the events happening in the neighborhood whereas, the Quick Cards displays all the info about a searched item in Bing.

Wow D. way to over exaggerate, call your ISP apologize for being ignorant, and don’t worry about the FBI, unless they were directly tracking the mp3’s you downloaded, your ISP’s privacy agreement should keep you safe.

Nope, totally illegal. Paying for the software to download music is NOT the same as paying for the music. Everything downloaded (that you haven’t paid for) is illegal and punishable by copyright law. You’re lucky, you just lost your internet, you could have (or still possible) those 250K fines and prison time.

To make it simple: You rip music off a friends CD – Illegal.
You download music through P2P (e.g. limewire) – illegal
You give a CD to a friend after you’ve already ripped it to your pc – illegal (and vice versa)

Doesn’t matter if you make money for it, even for personal use it’s still illegal.

PS.
Look out for FBI investigations.
