Компания Microsoft никогда не подтверждала слухи об использовании ядра Windows NT в телефонах с Windows Phone 8. Да и вообще информации официальной об этой операционной системе практически нет. Теперь же все наводит на мысль о том, что будет именно так. Компания ищет инженера-программиста для «улучшения производительности и надежности Windows Phone». Казалось бы, что в этом странного? А вот что. Необходимо заметить, что ведутся поиски программиста с опытом работы с Win32 и Windows NT, то есть должен быть опыт работы именно с десктопными компонентами, так как все предыдущие версии WIndows Phone работали на ядре WIndows CE.
