WP8 to share same kernel as Win8, voice integration for email

Stephen Chapman over at ZDnet did some investigating into some Microsoft task postings and employee résumés. What he found was bear witness pointing to the possibility of both Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 existence built on the aforementioned kernal.

Résumé of a former Program Manager:

The responsibilities included program managing software update features to provide device update engineering that enables end-users to update Windows Telephone OS with a new gear up of phone features including problems fixes. In this role, I delivered a set of functional requirements specifications for the major update components to enable prototype updates for the next generation Windows Phone Bone (aka Apollo). They are Packaging System, Imaging System, Flashing Organization, Update OS, Update Validator and Update Application. Too collection and tracked early investigations for the Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 OS convergence to create Mobile SKUs.

Résumé from a HTC Senior Product Planner:

Owned the advanced planning relationship with Microsoft; drove Microsoft "Apollo" product planning discussion and led HTC cross-division feedback. Identified high potential partners and technologies; initiated/participated in new partnership discussions; ensured the relevant technology integrations and strategic alignment.Restructured advice channel between the planning and field communication team; greatly increased the sell-in material accuracy and increased the overall update rate by fifty+% Spearheaded the 2022 Windows mobile phone product roadmap.

Chapman doesn't end with the above, hither's some other résumé quote that will be of interest to many users:

Blueprint and evolution of new features for Windows Phone-8. Implemented the 'Vocalisation-Compose' (STT) and the 'Read-Aloud' (TTS) features for native email-clients.

Finally, we have a quote from a résumé that lists Windows Telephone updates:

Launch readiness for account within region of responsibleness (east.g. Mango, Tango1, Tango2, Apollo, etc.)

While the above quotes aren't concrete proof that any of it is true, we tin at least speculate that Microsoft are pushing for a unified ecosystem where PCs, tablets and phones all run the aforementioned kernal and UI, that they intend to bring voice control to emails and nosotros're already aware of the Tango update being minor so 2 modest updates seems a possibility.
