hmm we still dont even know what feature we are getting sooo.... :straight:
“We care very deeply for our Windows Phone 7.5 customers, Microsoft corporate vice president Terry Myerson says during the presentation. “And because of this, I’m happy to share today that we are creating an update for Windows Phone 7.5 customers that brings to them what we believe is the marquee feature of Windows Phone 8: the new Start experience.”
. ( because he knows more features are coming )there is MORE Features to come and that the Ui is not the only changes.

(obviously ) . Is that not a HINT that we are getting more features just not the apps?? he never said we where not getting more features.....that WP7.8 Wont be able to RUN Native Code apps/games
Can we stop the Rumors? :straight:
These people don't deserve a WP. :lol:
I should start a suggestion topic : "Restrict access to WP to ignorant whiners".
Selfcreation, can you point me to where Joe said that the 7.8 update would bring more than the start screen? This is what I recall:
- WP8: platform features presented. More user-facing features to be announced at a later date.
- WP7.8: we're going to bring over the new start screen to make it look like you have WP8.
Key point still being missed here. There is no good reason not updaing current WPs to 8. It is for MS's economical reason only.

Here is a good reason. Assuming proper drivers are available for all legacy devices (would most likely never happen), telling 10M people they have to hard reset their "perfectly working phones", and lose everything in order to install a new OS, with a few new "non hardware specific features". That my friend, would be a marketing and support nightmare, although it would make the techies (probably less than 5% of the WP user base) happy.
The alternative is to plug your phone into your PC, and 20 minutes later, get a phone that works the same as before and looks just like the ones in the new commercials. That will appease the other 95%. Sorry, but majority rules here. Microsoft is doing the right thing for their users and shareholders.

This is not right by the shareholders or the users. Look at Nokia's financial status now THAT tells you what the shareholders really think.
