windows smartphone is based off Windows, a pc operating system. Android is a phone OS first, recently a tablet OS with Honeycomb. but dev's have created apps that bridge the two nicely for those of us with smartphones.
the phone just needs the proper software to complete certain tasks

 

What you said is correct, but the compulsion to stop misinformation forces me to correct this. Windows Mobile was NOT based on the desktop version. At all. Two different OS's. Two different frameworks.

As for rooting, ask yourself why. What do you mean by memory vampire? IF you are using all of your 3/4 GB RAM, you are doing some serious work. Probably something is going wrong.

If you want to root to tinker, read up and then go for it. I am rooted and I love it. If you are unsure, read and see what rooting will get you. It is not something to just be done for fun, as there are real risks associated with it. But it is fun when you know what you are doing.
