I keep seeing both Windows 10 Mobile and Windows 10 for Phones used online. After consulting Wikipedia, I guess the official name is just Windows 10 so we can add on any words we want to explain what type of device we are talking about?

I suppose you can use whatever you want as long as we know what you're talking about. :)

That sounds good. I think you should fix your signature. I believe you're missing the word not.

The problem is that I use Google frequently. Nothing personal.... Actually, since I've been using it from the start, it's everything personal...

I understand MS' desire to have one windows, but it makes it a pain to search for phone related items... It's not 100% the same thing. Can't tell you how many times I've searched for something and only get desktop related results, which mean squat for my phone... Wish they just made it WP10...

So, I think everyone should just refer to it as WP10

Well, cannot understand MS.
Apple got separate names for different devices, such as ios, OS X Yosemite.
Well maybe, they just intend to be different from Apple?

Apple doesn't run the same OS across devices so of course they would have totally different names.

Thank God the marketing department didn't get a look in on the naming scheme.
