Microsoft have proudly announced that they will share the same kernel, and that native coding will become available to developers (again, if you consider Windows Mobile).

How much sharing remains to be seen; at this stage, for an MVVM application, I'd expect the view models (and models) to be sharable with no code changes, and that it would be worth having dedicated views for the smaller resolutions on the phone platform. Of course, my crystal ball is no better than any other non-insider.

It's worth noting that the minimum screen resolution for metro apps on the desktop is 1024x768, whilst Windows Phone 8 will support 800x480
