Windows Phone 7 Update Goes Live

Microsoft has announced that the first update for its Windows Phone 7 operating system is now available for download.

However, before you get too scorching under the lapel, this isn’t the much anticipated update which will bring copy and paste functionality to your Windows Phone7 handset. As the Windows blog states: This first update for Windows Phone is designed to improve the software update process itself.

So while it might not sound exciting, it’s still important because it’s pavestone the way for all future goodie-filled updates to your phone, such as copy and paste or improved Marketplace search. Perhaps the reason it doesn’t sound exciting is because it isn’t, and the very fact that it makes copy and paste sound positively exhilarating says it all. Though the updates have started, in the usual way, being rolled out in stages so you might be green with envy as you see your co-worker getting this before you, however be patient and you should see it appearing in the next couple of days.
