Leaked Windows Phone 7 Documentation
Hello PPCGeeks Readers! What's come through the mailbox is BIG, and we mean Real Big!
Through an anonymous contact, we've received several PDFs that include special Windows Phone 7 Development, Usage, and Customization Content.
The content is very large and includes a wide amount of information we have yet to completely unravel and detail upon, but some of the exterior facts are VERY promising.
Mentioned items include:
- Detailing of its architecture, everything from the specifics to graphs explaining basics
- Customization and Compatibility plans, including with Microsoft Silverlight, Xbox's XNA system and network, and Microsoft Azure (A Cloud Service for Microsoft)
- Explanation of using and maintaining content on WP7 devices, such as internet browsing, connecting to the Cloud Network, Xbox Connections, etc. Included photo shows a flowchart that seems to detail the process of starting up your phone for the first time!
We have so much more to look into and are VERY excited to look into this, for now, a few photos to get your pallet wet!

I fail to see how this is an exclusive. But maybe I am missing something

You wouldn’t want to break their rules now
There is so much wrong with this:
a) It isn’t an exclusive.
b) It obviously is confidential material.
c) Have you all learned nothing from the Apple lost iphone fiascos?
d) I’m pretty sure that ppcg can’t claim rights to Microsoft documentation, even if they put their logo on it. Frankly, slapping your logo on someone else’s work is just LAME. You want to make your own diagrams and documents, feel free to slap your logo wherever you want.
Why not post the .pdfs as well?
this information looks very simmilar to the stuff they were showing us on the visualstudio 2010 developers track…
I wouldnt really consider it confidential stuff
@tt C6 Didn’t know this story was on engadget…I don’t see it. Maybe I’m over looking it.
@conflipper Thanks for pointing that out, I assume the tipster didn’t include this info with the tip.
@scrtcwlvl That’s only if our article (exact copy) is re-posted elsewhere, as we had a few places copying news as their own.
@gguruusa a.) Ok tipster didn’t give XDA as source. b.) Again, wasn’t informed it wasn’t confidential even tho the PDF is watermarked that it is. c.) What does that have to do with this? d.) No one here claimed rights to the documentation.
@MordyT If we knew that these were available to the public, we would have pointed to PDF download link.
@Aleki Roger that.
the original news is in xda developers, the post should give some credit to xda developers .http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=682261
the news is good and thanks for the info. but I am not sure if Microsoft going to be happy about it ? !
anyways WP7 misses the main windows functionality , cut/copy/paste , they are trying to be crap like iphone , they totally forgot who are windows phone users ,windows mobile users are using their WM6.1 and WM6.5 pretty much like a laptop , the crap about (finger friendly) UI will destroy the whole windows mobile operating system and will make it iphone …….so why buying and trying a new iphone like user interface,which is very beta , just leave your HTC/windows device and get yourself an iphone !
and advisers in Microsoft have never looked into the idea : ( if the user wants finger friendly and easy user interface will not be ending in the windows mobile shelf , they would easily buy an iphone and make their trip short ! ) windows mobile users are different , Microsoft need to understand this fact to stay strong in the market , otherwise jumping from one idea to another will do no more than making this part of Microsoft weaker and weaker .
@Maan76 –
a lot of people dislike the current windows mobile platform.
This is obvious by their market share.
@Wideawake – I’m pointing out that your staff has put you in a bad legal position. The iphone saga is a close parallel to this, except there the device was clearly misplaced in a public location with no identifying confidentiality about it. This document, however, has the smell of theft all about it. It clearly is marked as confidential. Your staff is arguably causing Microsoft material damage, and you are on the hook for it. I understand the desire to make sensational news, but this action is extraordinarily risky. You can’t even claim you’re just following the pack – it’s your friggin logo plastered all over what your staff claims as an exclusive.
Publishing obviously confidential material is D-U-M-B.
Oh, and plastering your logo on a pic IS claiming ownership. To suggest the ppcgeeks logo is there for some other reason is BS.
@Maan76 – What XDA has posted is not related to this at all. That post and this article were posted around the same time. At the time, we didn’t know anyone else had these PDF files since the information we received wasn’t posted anywhere else at the time this article was being worked on by Laos.
@mindfrost82 –

The architecture information was widely reported by tech blogs on April 19th due to Tweakers.net getting a hold of the Architecture guide.

Who cares if the information is exclusive or not??? People can be so stupid!!! Get a life! It’s information!!! If you’ve read it somewhere else then just ignore it here. I only come to PPCGeeks, so I’m glad to read the information. Quit being so simple and get lost!!! OMG!!! Just petty!!!
@gguruusa – Lol. Exactly what i thought. I see dor opening up for lawsuit.
@jdoggz – when the article was posted, the headline read “EXCLUSIVE…” Since the it has been edited, most people were complaining that it was not. If you look at the twitter page, Socalite, the plugin that auto-post a link to the articles, shows what the title used to look like…
@MordyT – I understand that, but fussing and complaining about it is pointless. Just read or don’t read it. I’m amused and slightly irritated at how people can point out flaws in just about anything. Whether exclusive or not…stolen or not, it is just info. Most of us don’t have a problem with “stealing” music, movies, and software…we put custom ROMS on our phones despite our manufacturer’s warranty woes, and our carrier’s contracts. But we stand on a soapbox and scream out the fetidness of leaked information. The whole thing is just tainted with hypocrisy.
People got jeolous because it had a ppcgeek logo stamped all over and was marked as “exclusive”. But obviously it was not exclussive and not owned by ppcgeeks. So a few feathers got ruffled. The web owner should be more carfull when doing stuff like this when the intertubes is ground zero for trolls awaiting to be fed. But other than that, its good info to read. Troll on.
cool stuff
