I was reading this morning about the previews of Windows Phone 8 starting to make rounds and the one thing that draw my attention was the things mentioned about older hardware that won’t be supported by the new OS. I have an older ‘first generation’ WMP7 phone (HTC Mozart) that I use as a backup phone so it would have been nice if it was possible to upgrade to WMP8 – but unfortunately MS is greedy and wants us to buys more hardware (that has all the royalties and licenses built in) that makes them even more money.
One interesting thing mentioned in a techreport article is that there will be an upgrade to WMP7 to version 7.8 that will superficially look like the new OS (but many features missing of course). Hopefully this could help until I have the opportunity to upgrade my phone at the end of this year or so.
