Just a few days after the presentation Microsoft Surface, the Microsoft company PRESENTS the new Windows Phone 8 that would run on future smartphones produced especially for it. The event has not ended yet, but those from Microsoft have announced that Windows Phone offers support for processors that can have up to 64 cores, will have resolutions of up to 1280 x 720 pixels, and that's it for the important hardware announcements. On the software side, Windows Phone 8 will bring users a turn-by-turn navigation application that will have an offline map system, it will bring a NFC payment system, it will allow customization of the HomeScreen, it will bring compatibility with Direct X , Internet Explorer 10, a Siri-like personal assistant and that's all that's important and worth mentioning.
Basically, Microsoft is aggressively updating its operating system to make it competitive, and they say that they are updating it because the functions presented are not new or revolutionary. The worst part for users is that this Windows 8 won't run on existing smartphones, so those who want it have to buy a completely new smartphone. This strategy is bad, in the long term it will not attract many customers who will practically be forced to buy a new smartphone every time there is an important update for Windows Phone. All in all, the novelties are interesting, they will contribute to increasing the market share of Windows Phone, but Microsoft still has work to do until it can compete with iOS and Android OS.
