Microsoft announces stop support for WP8 next July-News Center

"Sadie Online News" March 19, according to foreign http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/31646.html "> Media reports, Microsoft has announced on its official website, it will be from 3721.html" > The support for Windows Phone 8 and Windows Phone 7.8 was discontinued in July 2014 and September respectively. In other words, WP8 and WP7.8 will no longer receive Microsoft's support in the second half of next year.

The timing of its mobile software seems to be 18 months from the time Microsoft unveiled, but interestingly, Microsoft did not release the next version of mobile software before announcing the news.

On the one hand, this is a good illustration of the increasing transparency of the company's product upgrade plan. For iOS, consumers will never know when Apple will stop supporting previous versions of iOS software. Microsoft announced a startling message when it released Windows Phone 8: Windows phone 7-based devices will not be upgraded to next-generation software.

Microsoft has said that Windows Phone 8 users will have a way to upgrade the system, so it is not important to end its support. But to be sure, Microsoft is clearly planning to develop desktop products that may be confusing to mobile users because Microsoft has not yet explicitly announced what the mobile platform behind Windows Phone 8 will look like.

News that the next version of Windows Phone system will be released before Christmas this year, but to attract developers, improve consumer confidence in the company's brand and take into account Microsoft's best interests, Microsoft should provide more detailed information on those plans. In the mobile domain, ending the support service for operating system software may be tantamount to the death penalty for the operating system. This is especially important for developers who do not want to develop a platform that works for different platforms.
