MS has
forced requested XDA-developers to remove links to ROMs that feature WM 6.5's new features. They don't seem to mind if ROM chefs are using the new bases. MS seems to be focuses on the new features like HoneyComb, the lock screen, and new Today screen.
In theory, when XDA hackers gave us WM6.1 ROMs, we knew it was in the works for our providers to offer us the update. But with Windows Mobile 6.5, Microsoft has already announced that they will not allow device software upgrades to WM6.5.
It looks like Microsoft has contacted XDA-Developers admin and chefs to get all the links removed. I hope something positive can come out of this, but I honestly doubt it. I was looking forward to the new lock screen!
Side note: I'll be up for purchasing a new Windows Mobile phone soon. Microsoft will be sporting their WM6.5 soon to the consumers. They need to tell me if they'll allow an upgrade path to WM7.
