    7.8 update

    From an internal Q&A document for AT&T employees:




    Q: When will Windows Phone 7.8 be available?


    A: Windows Phone 7.8 will be made available sometime after the Windows Phone 8 is released.

    See more details here:

    AT&T internal document reveals Windows Phone 7.8 coming after Windows Phone 8 launch

    As for WP7.8 getting the IE10..., very unlikely, WP7.8 will be a cosmetic update, not a full update like Mango was.

    There's the entire article. "Cloud" based OS is not the way to go IMO.. but this is early "news" and we have to wait and see what really happens.
    OP, thanks for the post.

    Agreed. If Windows 9 goes that way without the option to install a normal desktop environment, then I won't upgrade. Just the cost of internet service alone to run applications would be cost prohibitive for me. *Sad

    I have a flat fee internet access but I would also hate to see what would happen with that type of OS. Personally I would either stick with 8.1 or go back to using windows 7. Either way I would not go to Windows 9 if that were to happen.

    Heck, I would even go to Linux if that were to occur. There are several distros that I've used that I have to say I've liked, Mint, Netrunner, etc... Oh and Fedora.

    I have both 8.1 and 7 installed and would simply stick with them until support ends. After that, I would find a Linus distro I like and run either 7 or 8 in a VM for those windows based programs I still need to use.

    Windows 9 will not be a cloud based OS.
    Society as a whole is nowhere near ready for that.

    2nd, It would not be a purely cloud based OS, as in VDI, or using your PC as a dumb terminal.
    That will not work for many many people....

    So please,, stop going to the Nth extreme, it's a foolish notion.

    However, potential subscription based might be possible in some capacity.
    But even that I doubt will come with Windows 9.

    The so called debacle of Win8.x ensures that will not happen yet.

    It's in talks about doing those things,, but nothing is official or in stone.

    So, you can all stop freaking out, and ignore the pseudo-tech journos that have Zero clue what they write about in regards to some insider info.
    You can put money on it that is in fact, complete BS.

    Also, keep in mind that right now, they are talking about Cortana and search criteria, Calendar's and email, social networking, etc.
    They are not talking about a fully cloud based OS. People who try to speculate on that issue, or focus on it are not all that bright.

    I don't think anyone is "freaking out" *Smile We're discussing an OS that doesn't exist. Anything posted is fair game *Wink

    So true. I for one am not "freaking out". This is a discussion about what could occur if MS went to a semi cloud based OS with 9 or possibly 10.

    And if MS does go to a cloud OS I would guess that most of the OS would work but some of the functionality would be disabled when not connected to the Internet. And this is total speculation on my part.

    Agreed, most, if not all, is speculation. It will be a wait and see.

    How do you know that for sure? Anything can happen. Windows 8 happened. Win XP was killed and nobody was ready.

    I am not saying I want a cloud based OS. We are just discussing "what if?".

  15. I don't want to rain on anybodies picnic; but if Microsoft feel that a cloud operating system could stop the hundreds of millions of counterfeit Windows 9 they just might try using a cloud base system.
    Ever time you would log into a cloud operating system or Office ect. they could check and see if you are legal.
    I will say it again. Counterfeits cost a company money and the people who buy those products money.

    Some interesting reading.
