I have not used Windows Phone except for very brief encounters at cell phone stores, so I was wondering how the phones deal with .NET libraries.
I ask because on desktop Windows, the .NET libraries are a huge bloat of files on the disk, and have frequent updates that require large amounts of CPU time to 'recompile' those assemblies.
I can't see those hefty storage space needs and processing requirements working well on a phone where flash storage space is limited and lengthy processing time will run down the battery in no time if it doesn't overheat the phone first.
But I am ignorant, if you have first hand experience with modern Windows phone please share your experience with the ongoing self-maintenance of the operating system and it's libraries.
