At its Windows Phone Summit today, Microsoft  gave the press a sneak peek at the future of Windows Phone , their mobile smartphone operating system. The new Windows Phone operating system will be called Windows Phone 8.

A large change in the latest version of Windows Phone is that the new OS will be based on the same core as the desktop version of Windows, so it should be easier for developers to write apps. This will also add some security features. The latest version of Windows Phone will support a new hardware standard. In the past, Windows Phone only supported single-core processors.

As shown in the video below, the new Windows 8 UI will be based on the same tiles design as Windows phone 7, but will also have the ability to run regular Windows apps.

Earlier today, Microsoft held a press event, announcing some of the newest features that will be found in the latest edition of their mobile phone operating system, Windows Phone 7 .

Related to this, a new feature in Mango will be the ability to group friends into groups. Groups will show all of those friend's activity, be it calls, texting, or even social networking activity. One can also communicate with all of the members in a group. Although
