Wouldn't it be simple that if you want to upgrade to WP8, you plug it into your PC and Zune will flash the device? I mean people flash their iPhone or Androids with custom ROMs all the time, so why can't Zune? Since I know they have the technical ability to do so, my remaining questions would be:
* do OS settings migrated(like having Twitter/FB turned on)
* do app settings migrate
we already know the apps & contacts themselves are stored on MS's cloud services, but it would be nice to know more.
Honestly I think MSFT's story next month will be:
You can continue to receive OTA updates on 7.x(from 7.6 to 7.9)
OR
you can connect up to Zune and update from 7.x to 8.x anytime, though it will be lengthy and you might lose settings.
Point is Microsoft will have an update story for all existing WP users.
