Title says it all….Just thought that I would this clear In case you missed what happened today and didn’t follow me on Twitter, several website posted stories about Mango being supposedly RTM (Released To Manufacturing) based on a rumor started on the Windows Phone Dev podcast last week (dunno why it only popped today given that I was made aware of it exactly 7 days on Twitter by a follower (@Keshwar) and decided not to post about it without any proof). As it’s usually always the case nobody bothered to do any double checking before rushing to post about it (you can see me and Mary Joe Foley questioning the validity of the whole thing here).

Anyway, this is another case of page-views, clicks and ad impressions ruling the internet.
