Today Microsoft released one of its most ambitious projects: Windows Phone 7 Series. The company is introducing new mobile operating system at the Mobile World Congress 2010 in Barcelona, and if the press is something that is believed this is only the beginning.

The face of Windows Phone 7 is not a rectangular grid of thumbnail-sized glossy-looking icons, arranged in a pattern of 4×4 or something, like basically every other phone. a set of bright large Superflat squares fill the screen. The pop of the primary colors and exaggerated plain produces a kind of cutting-edge cool to sit at the same time incredibly modern and playful. Text is large and beautiful. The result is a feat that no phone has ever done before: make the iPhone interface feel seriously.

The phone operating system does away with pretty much every scrap of previous mobile efforts from Microsoft, from the look and feel down to the underlying code, everything is new. 7 Series has rebuilt Windows Mobile from the ground up, with a splash screen and completely altered the experience of user interface, robust integration Xbox LIVE and Zune, and very new and enhanced social networking tools.

The operating system is also heavily focused on social networks, providing integrated contact pages that display status updates from multiple services and allow quick jumps to richer content of clouds. The aspect of the operating system also has been radically upended, reflecting the Zune HD experience closely, full of large text, an icon for menus and slide transitions beautifully to a user content entry and exit points of view different.

Windows Phone 7 is connected in the same sense as Palm’s webOS and Android, with live, real-time data seamlessly integrated, though it’s even smoother and more natural. Pictures live in the home screen, you can fully customize are dynamically updated with fresh content, such as climate, or if a person has pinned to the home screen, their latest status updates and photos.
