You’re Not Helping ⇥

Dieter Bohn:

A trusted source close to Microsoft tells us that is absolutely not the case, that instead there will be no upgrade path from Mango to Apollo. This matches up with a previous report from Mary Jo Foley and explains the particular language Microsoft used when it responded to the story earlier today, saying “We have stated publicly that all apps in our Marketplace today will run on the next version of Windows Phone. Beyond that, we have nothing to share about future releases.”

If this is true, it isn’t going to help their market share, or their reputation amongst users. Furthermore, this creates issues for the saving grace Nokia phones.
