It's really sad that WP7 has fallen down in regards to the level of EAS support that WP6.X had. It's tough to sell people on EAS as an alternative to services like BlackBerry and GoodLink when it appears the Windows Mobile team isn't commited to EAS anymore.
My only answer to people who point these things out to me is that the Windows Mobile team rushed WP7 to market to compete with the iPhone and Android devices. At least that is the conclusion I have to draw with the very limited EAS support (someone mention iPhone 4 has better EAS support which is just sad if it's true) and missing basic features like cut and paste.
Please pass along to the Windows Mobile team that they are hurting the street cred of Exchange admins with their user base when they roll out products in this type of fashion...
