SAN FRANCISCO - It’s been a huge week for Microsoft news. On Monday, the company unveiled a new line of Surface tablets, one of which will run a full version of Windows 8. Today, at the Windows Phone Developer Summit in San Francisco, Microsoft provided details regarding the upcoming Windows Phone 8 operating system.
The next version of the mobile OS promises to provide deep integration with the Windows 8 operating system, meaning that the next generation of Windows devices, from PCs to laptops to tablets to mobile phones, should interact very nicely. Microsoft’s keynote at the Windows Phone Developer Summit was exciting for app developers, too, as the new “shared core” between Windows Phone 8 and Windows 8 should provide a lot of benefits when it comes to cross-platform development.
