Microsoft is now using the word “hub” to describe a related set of features like people, pictures, games, music/video, marketplace, and office. I have no idea why they need to invent a new term. But, ok. Here’s what those component types and terms mean:

People: Social networking, Facebook, Windows Live.
Pictures: Photos.
Games: Xbox LIVE
Music + Video: Zune replaces Windows Media mobile.
Marketplace: Their app store.
Office: Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint), OneNote, SharePoint Workspace, Outlook Mobile.




Microsoft says Windows Phone 7 will be available by holiday 2010.
