So, nothing too interesting from the Microsoft Windows Phone conference, other than Windows Phone 8 using the same core as Windows 8 and that present Windows Phone owners won't be able to upgrade. This clearly points the way to the next Xbox using the Windows 8 core as well, which will mean all of Microsoft's platforms will be on the same base code. They won't be compatible, obviously, but it will be "easy" to cross-compile code for the various Windows form factors (desktop, tablet, phone, and console).
