However a lot of people and businesses are heavily invested in it. There are many apps (i.e. medical information systems) that only run on WiMo, that's why you see it in hospitals, etc. Should Microsoft just tell all its partners to stop building devices until WiMo 7 arrives sometime in 2012?

It's as though Microsoft hasn't yet realized that WinMo has become irrelevant. They should stop beating this dead horse and focus their efforts on a smartphone OS based on the Zune UI.
