Photon was just a codename! The OS would have been called "Windows Mobile 7". But it's dead now.

"Windows Phone OS 7.0" is the name of the new OS.

"Windows Phone 7 Series" is the brand.

And yes, those are stupid names. How do you call a phone that runs WP7? A "Windows Phone 7 Series phone?"

Ridiculous.

lol, you rather the Photon name? "Windows Photon"

Windows Phone 7 is not the name of the OS….actually Windows Phone is the new brand name Microsoft is using. so the actual name of the OS is "7 Series" (like BMW 7 Series).

limiting native code gives way for better portability of said application. if the application runs in managed state then that state can easily be carried over to other devices with little to no change to the underlying code. therefore, we can see the same apps running on our mobile in silverlight running on our desktop and in our browsers and on our TV and on our slates…and these same apps can run on linux through mono and on macs etc.

'Windows Phone 7' is the worst name they could have EVER come up with for it…..in my very humble opinion.

Windows Phone 7 for sure is going to be a hit because "It is a meaningful phone OS and almost most of the things that I or you could wish from the Smartphone we carry today."

Limiting native code is good? Could you elaborate on this? Native code has nothing to do with security.

yeah, the document was "leaked"….

The mobile competition is too hard, and microsoft is using all its weapons to make a move, I really dont think this was leaked
