Windows Phone Thoughts: Microsoft Drops 'Series' from Windows phone 7 Product Name

And there you have it - with a simple tweet, Microsoft has come to the belated realization that Windows phone 7 Series was a needlessly complicated name, and now the product's official name is Windows phone 7. The thing is, since launch day pretty much every online article I've read has referred to the product as Windows phone 7. Most of us realized that the word "Series" was superfluous and didn't use it; at least now it's official.
