It seems there was much of what you would expect to find in such a lab. There was a mixture of real (i.e.&nbsp;human)&nbsp;and virtual testers, giving both the hardware and software aspects of the platform and test devices a thorough&nbsp;workout. Their report does unearth a few interesting tidbits, including the fact that Microsoft is claiming this is their most tested operating system&nbsp;ever.&nbsp;They also saw a couple of as yet unannounced and unreleased&nbsp; (at least officially)&nbsp;handsets&nbsp;from Toshiba and Acer. It appears from this look behind the scenes that Microsoft is dead serious about the Windows Phone 7 platform and is focused on ensuring a good user experience.</p>
