I'd imagine that Microsoft doesn't really care what the device runs. The money's in the content, not the hardware.

  Microsoft has a lot at stake - WP7, as it is now, lacks credibility and that's absolutely critical in this "post-PC" world. Nooks running WP7 (and abandoning Android) could generate some.

    They would run WindowsRT if anything, Microsoft is only using WP for phones.

      IIRC, Microsoft has said WP8 will be based on the same core as Windows 8, so, whatever the tablet runs, will be a successor of WP7.

        People have speculated that is what MS will do, but MS has never said that.

          You are right. Microsoft has, so far, been ambiguous about the rumors about W8 and WP8 common infrastructure.
