Microsoft woke up so that Windows Mobile is far behind the times and competition. And so decided it was time to put foot down and come up with something new.

Windows Phone is not a phone

Last week Google kid that we did not find a more inspired name for the buzz. Nor those from Microsoft not seem inspired. Windows Mobile version will be called from Windows 7 Phone.

It is not just a marketing găselniţă inspired. Plus it is clearly the source of inspiration in choosing this name: Google Phone. The difference is that Google chose this name for a phone, even if the phone was manufactured by HTC. Microsoft Phone is given a name Windows operating system, not a phone.
