Amusing Windows Phone Error Asks User to Insert Install Disc
How DOES one fit a disc into a Windows phone?
Just in case you needed further proof that Windows Phone 8 is running on the same kernel as Windows on desktop, look no further. This hilarious error prompts users to insert their Windows installation disc and restart their "computer."
Ordinary Windows phone users need not worry about receiving this absurd solution. According to Microsoft's Windows Phone support (via their Twitter account), ordinary Windows phone users will never encounter this error. The user that tweeted Windows Phone support had apparently been flashing his phone when he encountered this error. So, unless you're messing around with your Windows Phone, you don't need to worry about trying to figure out how to cram a CD into a cell phone.
Insert disk #22 and press button to continue. Just like in Monkey Island.
EDIT: Lol posted before I saw first post, to funny.
Invent time machine;
Go back in time;
Prevent yourself from buying the phone in the first place;
But Will it BLEND! ?
Come on author, you can do better than that.

On a more serious note though, as it's built on Windows for desktop, potentially utililising the same kernel, it makes you wonder about bloat and memory utilisation of the OS on the phone?
I hope Microsoft were really able to completely strip down the OS, so like a micro-kernel, but if it runs on an Intel/x86 cpu, it makes you wonder...
... Windows Phone doesn't run on x86. On the other hand, there are Android phones running on Intel chips.
