Exciting year for MS's WP. Integration across platforms is the key-Xbox, WP, w8. Alot of techies here but many seem to lack a vision of the future. Well I guess that's what happens with fanboyism disease.

I hope they make it right this time and drop the pointless forced limitations.
I want a good OS for Nokia's next generation pure view.
That could finally start bringing Finns back on track

I dunno... I always thought Windows Phone Blue was going to be a reference to Microsoft incorporating Blue Stacks into the OS itself.

Bill Gates knows how to destroy the competitors as he did to Apple in 1980s, and he will destroy again Apple and Google. We will not gonna see big changes in Q1 2013 but the real competition begins after MWC.

Gates doesn't have any input on day-to-day ops at Microsoft, as he's running the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. You can thank Steve Ballmer and company.

@darac... It appears nokia's February financial showed progress. Sacrifices have been made to cut cost in order to save money and compete. Regarding their phone division, they've just penetrated the US, starting with att, T-Mobile, Verizon, and soon sprint. They've slowly penetrated china, India, and other important countries. The 620 has garnered good reviews so far. As they push forward with more devices both high and low end with their exclusive technology, they will become the top WP vendor. Add to their anticipated tablet, Nokia is set to move forward in 2013. Most don't realize the potential of WP and w8. They pride in spending thousands of dollars buy gadgets whereas MS has now begun to close that gap. One wp, one surface or Nokia tab, and an Xbox is all you will ever need. And if you need a great camera and video recorder, Nokia will provide that. No more buying thousands of dollars in gadgets for everyday different situations. The money you saved buy yourself a bag of chips, sit back and relax.

I'm excited for Windows and Windows Phone Blue, I just hope it's not based on a new kernel so early that it again won't be compatible with old devices. That would seriously hurt the fanbase.

If anything, this just fuels the allegations that Windows 8/RT/Phone 8 were sufficiently poor products so as to necessitate what will be about the quickest update/turnover to a new Windows version in Microsoft history. Six to eight months after initial Win 8 release, Windows Blue gets released across the board... for free... to immediately replace all existing Windows 8 derivative products. Hilarious!

Haha... I'm a troll who isn't a fanboy? Wow... how odd would that be!

Windows (Phone) Blue is the cloud component of W8 (WP8), nothing more.
