The 800 pound Gorilla has just flexed his muscles and shut down arguably one of the most followed ROM’s in the Raphael Forum on XDA-Developers.com. Da_G who has been working on this thread:
[ROM][WWE][09.03.09]Windows Mobile 6.5 21176 ROM / Kitchen for Fuze/TouchPro [GSM]

We’ll keep you posted on any further developments, but I thought that this was pretty interesting that Microsoft would take these steps to Stop hinder the efforts of porting WinMo 6.5.
