The Windows Mobile blogosphere has been going gaga lately over some of the incredible work that will never be released, created by Microsofts’s design team in Beijing, known as ATC.

To take a look at some of the stuff, head on over to this link, and click on the different Chinese/English blue links at the top of the post, beginning with “Windows Mobile 6.5″. A lot of this stuff involves cool graphics, new UX designs, and other imagery that makes you just want to scream at MS for not rolling this stuff out.

And I do want to scream at MS, often enough.

FYI: Apparently one of these guys, Robin Zhu, worked on the T-Mobile Shadow UI design, codenamed “Neo” that I discussed with Jay Ongg here, who was the lead developer on the project. So apparently some of their designs do make it into the market.

But to put just a little perspective on this, take a look at this post by Mike Calligaro from the MS WM team. In it, explains with eye-opening detail the process that adding a feature to an OS like WM involves. And let me tell you, its involved! I guarantee you’ll never look at a finished Operating System the same way again.
