Windows Mobile 6.5? Or Fake?

If there was a Windows Mobile 6.5, do you think it would look like this? And why would SmartphoneFrance.info find out first?

“While the arrival of Windows Mobile 6.5 for the year 2009 was announced here and there, then confirmed by Steve Balmer himself at the PDC 2008, Smartphone France is very pleased to present exclusive World 2 first screenshots of what should be Windows Mobile 6.5. If for the moment there is no real information on the new version of Windows Mobile, what is happening is that Microsoft has finally decided to redesign the interface of the aging systems to try to catch up with his lags behind its competitors.”

The excellent Pocket PC Thoughts isn’t having a bone of it, and I’m inclined to agree with them, however lovely the screenshots might be.

After all – this looks very unlike Windows XP or Vista – and surely it would resemble what we know of Windows 7 by way of some sort of forward integration?
