It's been depressing to read this thread, albeit a rumors one, on reddit. Apparently, WP7 devices have an entirely different kernel from what is being developed for WP8 and so although WP7 apps will work on WP8, the devices running the OS currently will not get an upgrade to WP8.
I feel absolutely cheated. Just bought a WP7 device two weeks back not only because it was an OS I loved so much but also specifically because I was sure the value proposition of this device will grow multifold once WP8 released which I was sure will bring greater integration between the phone and the computer.
Any insider info folks? Has Microsoft screwed me into buying their phone ahead of schedule?
