Much is being said about the name that Microsoft's operating system for smart phones will receive in the future. At this time, it is known as Windows Phone 7, for a clear allusion to the latest version of the desktop system, Windows 7, and as a continuation of the rate of updates that we knew from the previous version of the platform, Windows Mobile 6.5. However, the numbering could be changed, or directly eliminated, to be more precise, when the next version of the system, which is already known by the code name Mango, is made available to users.
However, as we learn from ReadWrite, it seems that Microsoft could take advantage of the first major system update to change the name of its platform, and simplify it with a much more effective " Windows Phone " to dry. This strategy would also be conditioned by the inclusion of the system in Nokia mobiles from the end of the year, with the premiere of the rumored Nokia W7 and Nokia W8.
Through the web Partner Network of Microsoft, the multinational itself based in Redmond refers to the future of their platform like Windows Phone, without making references to numbered versions, which would not take that to refer to the various upgrades, The company decided to catalog each version with a numerical code as is done in the rest of the platforms (iOS 4.3.2, Android 2.3.3, BlackBerry OS 6.0).
However, given that Windows Phone 7 was the first version of Microsoft's system focused on the new generation of smart phones, the company could have changed its business strategy, going to designate this platform with the generic name Windows Phone, which depending on of each new edition that was released, it would be surnamed with the usual numerical code, as well as with a nickname that would help users to distinguish between them, in true Android style.
