![]() We have an architecture that enables portability and is fundamentally hardware independent," he said. ![]() That was a big problem for Windows Phone 7, which was trapped with a prescribed spec that made its phones look old by midyear after launch. Sullivan also said that Windows Phone 8 was flexible enough to adopt new hardware components. "We're going to have an upgrade path going forward," he said. He said that current Windows Phone 8 owners have nothing to fear from upgrades, unlike Windows Phone 7 owners who weren't able to update to 8. ![]() That next operating system update is rumored to be codenamed "Windows Phone Blue," but Sullivan wouldn't comment. "Over the course of the next several months, I wouldn't be surprised to see some exciting new devices and more interoperability before we start talking about what is next," he said. With Windows Phone 8 only a few months old, Microsoft is in the middle of its product cycle. "We're not going to do this thing where we announce the next version months and months before it's available," he said. According to Greg Sullivan, a senior marketing manager at Microsoft, the company's absence from the MWC press conference list this year comes down to a new commitment to "shut up and ship."
