Windows Phone 8 and Windows 8 share lots of code, NT kernel

Windows Phone 8 and Windows 8 share lots of code, NT kernel

It's not a complete surprise, but it's still a little bit shocking that it's actually happening — Windows Phone 8 will be borrowing much of its code base, including the kernel, from Windows 8. At the heart of the latest mobile OS from Microsoft is the full-fledged NT kernel. It's not just a kernel though, the so-called “Shared Windows Core” extends to the file system, security infrastructure, etc…. The obvious benefit here is to streamline the creation of a coherent ecosystem. Developers will be able to easily create apps and drivers that can jump from the phone, to the tablet and to the desktop.
