PHONE MANUFACTURERS EAGER to pay software licensing fees can now get their mitts on Microsoft's Windows Phone 7 (WP7), as the Vole has released its redesigned mobile operating system to manufacturing.
The Vole announced that its latest mobile phone OS is now in the hands of those who want it by saying that the work of its internal engineering team is "largely complete". All that's left is for handset manufacturers to tweak designs and marry Microsoft's gleaming new operating system to their handsets.

Microsoft's Terry Myerson claims that WP7 is the firm's most tested mobile operating system with the outfit having tested it with "nearly ten thousand devices running automated tests daily, over a half million hours of active self-hosting use, over three and a half million hours of stress test passes, and eight and a half million hours of fully automated test passes."
It's not surprising that Microsoft has worked hard to get WP7 polished. Previous versions of the Vole's mobile operating systems would kindly be described as primitive. With Apple and Google raising the bar so high, Microsoft has been forced to increase the functionality, fit and finish of its mobile operating system considerably just to compete.
There's a lot riding on WP7 for Microsoft as it tries to claw back market share in the mobile phone industry. Recently it went on the offensive by claiming that Google's Linux based Android operating system is not free after manufacturers implement various features. While that move smacks of desperation and FUD, a series of WP7 phone leaks has shown that handsets that run it are looking smarter, if not awe-inspiring.
With Myerson confirming that WP7 has left Microsoft's doors, there's little worry, at least for Microsoft, about whether handsets running WP7 will be out for Christmas. Now it really is in the hands of the manufacturers and most importantly, developers to try to make WP7 successful.
