I said new apps. Not old apps with updates). That leave you with Disquss and How to watch.
Yes, and how many new WP8 exclusives were on that list? One! So, of three new apps, two run on WP7!
Two out of three doesn't sound half bad, particularly since we've applied your "distortion field" which requires us to ignore 1st party apps, ignore all the extra customer care provided to 75% of WP7 owners (Nokia customers), and ignore all the WP7 app updates which occur on a daily basis.
I'd say you are going out of your way to feel negative about something. You are ignoring-away half of reality and even then WP7 is far from dead.
My point being, MSFT isn't looking out for their customers needs.
If that is the point you are trying to make, sure, such an argument can be made. I would simply ask you to do so in the correct thread. This thread asks the question whether WP7 is dead, which has nothing to do with the point you are apparently trying to communicate.
I bought a Lumia 800 on the day it was released. It did what I needed it to then. It still does what I need it to do now. It still gets new apps all the time. All the apps I use still get regular updates. Just yesterday all of my Synology apps (that interface with my NAS) got updates, which is awesome. By now, it really must be clear to everyone reading along that WP7 is not yet dead. Heading off into the sunset (just as WP8 is), yes, dead, no!
