Windows Phone 7 is latest mobile operating system developed by Microsoft. The User interface in Windows Phone 7 is dramatically changed from previous versions of Windows Mobile operating systems. However it has some serious disadvantages over other latest operating systems like
Android OS and
iOS 4. Microsoft has removed a few features from Windows Phone 7 OS probabaly for security purposes. However these precautionary measures made Windows Phone 7 an orthodox operating system. (That's what I think).
