Windows Phone 7 has a different CLR than the CLR on the desktop, as a goal of us to actually go down and be able to serve phones in the future with the same CLR architecture
so Compact Framework is no more ![]()
Actually we can see a job posting from Microsoft indicates the same: https://careers.microsoft.com/jobdetails.aspx?jid=80221
The Common Language Runtime team (CLR) is hiring an experienced software design engineer in test (SDET) to drive testing code in memory-constrained scenarios. The CLR is the runtime on which all managed code executes and is a technology central to Microsoft's developer ecosystem. As an advocate for the customer, you will be working closely with Dev and PM peers to understand CLR behavior in low-memory devices and to design enhancements that deliver first-class user experiences. Key responsibilities also include architecting and implementing tests and test infrastructure to drive reliability in the product on devices
