Future WP7.8 and WP8 apps

[netspazz]

I was wondering, as a WP7.5 user, when wp7.8 comes out will we be able to access and run the 120,000 apps that were announced for the new wp8 release? I know that there are some limitations on some apps that are HW dependent, I was just wondering about basic apps that just do not need the resources of the new HW platform. I would hope that many of the WP8 apps can run once WP7.8 hits the street. Everything will be developed for WP8 now, so I hope wp7.8 users are not left in the dust.
