Computerworld - Microsoft Corp.'s flagging Windows Phone 7 software got a boost this month when Nokia Corp. agreed -- in return for billions of dollars -- to run the operating system on its next generation of mobile phones.
Nokia CEO Stephen Elop said the phone maker selected WP7 over Google Inc.'s popular Android open-source software to ensure "a three-horse race" between Windows Phone, Android and Apple Inc.'s iOS in the mobile operating system market.
