Here's the full quote. Big time jumping to conclusions thinking this means you can't upgrade to 8. The way he said it didn't make me think he was trying to justify not having 7--->8 upgrades.
You know, I wonder nowadays what we actually expect. Assuming 8 is a massive jump from 7 in terms of capabilities and the like, am I the only one who wouldnt be shocked if a lot of 7 phones arent compatible. I really just dont see how this isnt expected to some degree (I bolded that last portion, because its very important, lol).
The tech is going to move forward, scaling helps, but you cannot expect it to scale down infinitely. There will be break points. I would be wonderful if folks could have their old 2 year Wp7 and then upgrade to Wp8, but in some cases that probably wont happen. And I dont think thats the end of the world.
carrier updates are so wrong. why can't MS see that.
Wait what? I thought WP wasnt carrier upgrades, I thought it came directly from MS.
