Microsoft ends the year with a better balance than it did in 2010. With Windows 8 just around the corner as a detergent that washes the tarnished image that it obtained with the still burning Windows Vista in the memory of users and the excellent results that it is reaping with its mobile platform, Windows Phone 7.5 Mango, it can be said that 2012 will be a very important year in Redmond interests.
Although this year it has not enjoyed all the fame it would have wanted in the smartphone section, with a very tepid reception in the stage before the Mango update - and, above all, before the launch of the Nokia Lumia 800 -, the The new version has been an incentive for the platform's figures to take off in every way: sales of Mango terminals have risen significantly, the application store has been placed in the 50,000 downloadable options and, even, in a burst of enthusiasm, from Microsoft they assure that more applications are downloaded from the Marketplace than from theAndroid Market.

The update would arrive in the second quarter of 2012 -between the months of April and June-, and with it, the door would open to a powerful mid-range. It is likely that Nokia has a lot to say at this point, since as we have seen with the Nokia Lumia 710, a part of the success of the platform will go through nurturing the market with many affordable terminals.
It would not be until the last quarter of 2012 when Windows Phone Apollo would arrive, the fourth comprehensive system improvement that we would see on the Microsoft platform. With it, this ecosystem the batteries would once again renewing the portfolio of handsets with latest generation mobile, and giving a boost to the professional range, with what perhaps might appear the first devices with full keyboard in physical format -.
