Simple enough, I notices that MS will more than likely charge for the Blue update. How will this translate to Wp8?
I can't see them doing it on the phone side, but on the PC side it's possible. Sounds like there isn't even any Windows 9 plans and they are moving to more yearly updates of Windows 8. Sorta like what Apple does with MacOS.
Coming to Blue and paying for it, it's really not as crazy as it sounds...*IF* Microsoft can show a significant benefit for WP8 in terms of integration with Windows 8, sync app purchases for instance, and in short give a really good reason for people to pay for it.
We won't see WP9 for atleast 1, 1,5 year and there's possibility(*cough* blue *cough*) that there won't be version anymore, like we will have Windows and Windows phone.They ****ed everybody with WP8 which made WP7 obsolete (WP7, a completely new OS which didn't run any old software, replaced after 2 years with a completely new OS that supports software not running on WP7). If they try such a stunt again, I'll be gone.
