Quite a few people are upset about the announcement of wp7 devices not getting upgraded to wp8, which is some what understandable, but not really. They put a lot more into the new software and devices and it is understandable that the older (legacy) devices can't support that.
The part that really grinds my gears is that fact that all of us wp7 users that have grinded through this slow development of 100,000 apps are now going to lose a lot of support for app development on wp7. I say slow development because though there are 100,000 most of them are crap and we are way behind on a lot of the more "trendier" apps out there in mobile.
The end users need to get together with sites like wpcentral and kind of demand for strong support for wp7.8 from microsoft as the wp8 marketplace grows. They are depending on app developers to code for both, but it wont happen. If they haven't coded for wp7 now they probably will not down the line.
Lastly Microsoft games better be coding for both, and how is microsoft a software company that can't figure out some solution to keep app support strong for wp7?
