    Experts say new Facebook Phone will be Windows 8 based


    The evidence is showing the possibility for what the rumors are already saying; the new Facebook Phone will be most likely based on the new Windows 8 Phone platform.

    A secret informant who has been briefed on the Microsoft mobile strategy has informed Business Insider’s Nicholas Carlson about the plans, which even some employees close to the matter are calling “Plausible, logical, and even likely”

    Stocks today started in a lurch due to the Greece financial crisis, but Microsoft (ticker:MSFT) came out with a strong showing amid catalysts such as Windows 8, Windows Sever 8 and the news of the new 99$ Xbox package. Recently, Microsoft, who is a large shareholder in Facebook, has sold about 550M$ worth of patents to the social giant.

    The evidence, at this point is stacking up, and info is starting to leak. At the moment, Facebook employees are remaining tight-lipped as usual, but that is not to say that there weren’t some mischievous smirks.

    Microsoft invested many millions early in the life of Facebook and has an interest in them that borders on outright secrecy, what do you think about the rumors?
