"Because it's easier to create a smaller operating system and add features to it rather than the reverse, Windows Phone is believed to be the dominant OS in the merger."

I wonder how that will work out. There is the possibility of that leaving the current Windows RT powered devices even more in a no man's land.

Brings up the question, what will Microsoft do for legacy owners of Windows RT?

I can see this actually working well on PCs and Microsoft tablets. Mainly because Microsoft controls the updates and there is not as much fragmentation like Android has.

If they work a way to do it with phones then it would be a good competitor to Android as the major downside to Android is fragmentation.

How about announcing a service pack 2 for Windows 7. I mean since service pack 1 was released, Windows 7 has had at least 1,000 updates since then.

I am pretty sure MS announced they wont be doing a SP2 for 7 as it doesn't need it. XP needed SP2 and 3 and Vista needed at least SP1. All of them enhanced their OSes in good ways. 7 truly did not need SP1 and while a few of the updates were nice, 7 was already a very good OS.
