Windows Phone 8

Right now, Microsoft’s Windows Phone 7 OS is waiting for the next major upgrade – the anticipated “Mango” release.

It’s believed that Windows Phone 8, aka “Apollo” is the next version after that, rumored to be coming in mid-2012.

According to a recent Microsoft job posting, it seems that Microsoft are looking for a Software Development Engineer to test out and help build “the next version of Windows”.

Here’s part of it:
