Windows 8 Kernel For Windows Phone 8 ? Perhaps Not

Just Sharing.

An NT-powered Windows Phone? Not so fast...

Intresting.

I don't know. I kind of believe Joe Belfiore with confirmation from Thurrot a little more than The Register.

And the idea that they still haven't made a decision this late doesn't really make much sense. I wonder if The Register's source is working off of talks that happened several months ago.

I've trusted MS so far to buy two Windows Phones. I'm confident that whatever MS decides to do with the kernel will be good for the OS as a whole.

I don't really care what they do, so long as it is beneficial. I trust them to make the smart choice, as they've done so far with all their WP developments.

I really have a hard time believing that they haven't made this decision (one way or the other) already.

The article is BS i think its pretty much confirmed by MS that WP8 will be using the Windows 8 kernel. If you look at the article its saying that Tango is this years big release when it should be Apollo.

From what I read the Register is an anti-MS site so meh. All I have to say is when all the Windows 8 leaks came out I checked Joe B's twitter later that evening and I re-call him saying this "just got out of several meetings did I miss anything good" that was when all the Windows 8 info leaked
