Stephen Fry rocked up in support of Windows Phone 7 at the Microsoft launch today. The first thing he said? That he isn’t being paid. Fry said, when talking about what he thought about Windows Phone 7: “What joy there is  heaven when a sinner repenteth – Microsoft forgot that even the greyest number cruncher is a human being first, and that their experience is based on feeling and on emotion.”

Fry was getting behind Windows Phone 7 on the basis that Microsoft has done a U-turn, and changed the way it looks at things, by looking first at the user rather than the device with Windows Phone 7. He said he’s been playing with one for a week and rather likes it.

What do you think? Is Fry right, or was he just the celeb rolled out for the day? Has Microsoft turned over a new leaf?
