Windows Phone (WP) is a discontinued mobile operating system developed by Microsoft for smartphones as the replacement to Windows Mobile and Zune.
The user interface of WP is derived from the Metro design language.
WP is primary aimed at the consumer market rather than the enterprise market.
History
Origin
The project "Photon" (codename) started In 2004, which was a big update of Windows Mobile. But its progress was slow and it was ultimately cancelled.
In 2008 Microsoft reorganized the Windows Mobile group and started work on a new mobile operating system. WP was developed quickly.

Its kernel is Windows CE-based.
It was not yet tested, if Speedy Blupi runs on Windows Phone 7
