Microsoft today announced that Windows Phone 7 has reached the Release To Manufacturers (RTM) milestone. That means Windows Phone 7 is now in its final form as developed by Microsoft and is fully ready for manufacturers to use in handsets. In addition to reaching the RTM marker, Microsoft also explained that it was able to integrate some facets of Facebook into Windows Phone 7. Specifically, users will be able to filter through their contacts for Facebook friends, as well as like items and post to Facebook directly from the People Hub. Microsoft says that the user interface has been refined throughout the operating system, and that a dedicated search button has been added to the contacts application for faster searching. Though some manufacturers have committed to introducing Windows Phone 7 handsets later this year, none have confirmed any specific details about their devices.

More Windows Junk!!!

Microsoft is no longer a leader in operating systems. Windows 6 was a nightmare to work with. Windows 5 was even worse. I mean come on, they can't compare to apple's os 4 or even android. This time i wonder when the phone crashes will there be a blue screen? 🤣 🤣

As opposed to a truly external antenna?
Let's wait and see what Microsoft brings to the table before we make judgement calls. They seem to be pretty excited about it on the campus. Way more excited than with Winmo.

Yeah, because I'm sure that someone with the screen name Mac OS X has a COMPLETELY objective and fair opinion of Windows....
