Leo will get official WM7 update in September 2010

LINK : http://www.businessmobile.fr/actualites/technologies/0,39044306,39711884,00.htm [in French]
Thanks for the post, but it's talking about the same twitter post that all the other threads are talking about. This is not confirmed, and it doesn't mention september either!
This thread needs to be deleted. There's enough threads about this "news" already.
Erm you do know that there's already like two long threads on this subject and all you've done is post to some french article on the russian htc twitter message which was later removed,
Please dont start a new thread next time, Thanks.
in september i already have the phone with 2ghz.

Do you have a windows mobile phone yet?
Bad news is that WM 7 may delayed to 201?.
We don't know if the HTC HD2 will get a WM7 upgrade.
Neither HTC knows if they will or won't build a CE7 kernel for it.
Stop with these useless threads.

I assume you mean 2010, which is this year? When did you think it was coming out? 2009!
I think he means it could be anything from 2010 to 2019

[Q] Will Ubuntu or similar Linux distro be possible on the Fire?

Hey guys, I am pretty close to snapping up a Kindle Fire and would like to know whether this could be possible at some stage. I don't want this to sound like a whinging demand, just a friendly enquiry
I realise that getting Ubuntu or a similar distro to run properly on the Fire would be a huge task and I definitely don't have the skills to make this possible (though I would love to learn how to). So I am just wondering if anyone out there is or will be working on this in the future. I'd also be happy to contribute to a dev fund to get this done!
It would be so awesome to be able to have a full linux distro on such a portable and affordable tablet as the Fire, don't you think?
From now on...

Like dude said, no need to apologize. But I do have to ask, did you really search the Kindle Fire General Forum? All I had to do was click "Search this forum" and typed "ubuntu", got it first try.

Yeah, I did search initially but I just tried the search again and found it first go, like you said. I have no idea how I missed it the first time!
Anyway, no harm done. Just pretty keen to be running something like this natively on the Fire. I only bought mine from the XDA Marketplace today and hopefully will be able to try out VNC when it arrives.

Turn off auto update?

I just ordered the new Fire HD 10 since the price dropped to $120 (missed the $99 black Friday deal). Won't get it until 12/28. No idea which version of Fire OS it will come with but if it's not 5.6, can I turn off auto-updates during or after setup before it updates itself? It seems from reading here that 5.6 makes quite a few things more difficult. My intent is to install the Play Store/Play Services so I can get the Google apps I like.
Why you make a post and don't read? https://forum.xda-developers.com/hd8-hd10/general
I did read that. Maybe I missed something. I will look again. Your reply would have been more helpful had you directed me to the actual thread but I'll give you credit for trying to be helpful.
If the moderator wishes to delete this thread, be my guest.

Why'd you have to sound like d*** and couldn't just talk to him like a regular person?
