新聞來源：香港的WP粉絲團 標題:全世界一起聯署︰強烈要求微軟為WP7.8帶來WP7.5機種硬件能支援的WP8新功能！ 原頁面網址:http://welovewp.hk/?p=7873 內文: 現有WP用家，大家都要一起站出來，向微軟說︰「強烈要求微軟為WP7.8帶來WP7.5機種 硬件能支援的WP8新功能」！ 昨天的WP7.8發佈，令大部份WeLoveWP.HK的讀者感到失望及忿怒。 現在各大傳媒的消息，均指WP7.8只為WP7.5加上WP8的全新Start Screen， 甚至一直料子相當準確的Paul Thurrott也指出，WP7.8與WP7.5的唯一分別， 便是這個全新的Start Screen。這令大家不禁問︰「全新的輸入法呢？ Skydrive整合呢？Xbox Music & Video呢？DataSmart呢？」 這些理應不會受硬體影響的WP8新功能，為何不能讓現有WP用家使用？ 縱使有個別網站指出，微軟將為WP7.8帶來部份WP8新功能，而非只有 全新Start Screen。但WeLoveWP.HK認為，我們仍然需要讓微軟知道， 現有WP用家需要得到尊重，否則只會令WP的名聲敗壞，令忠實的WP fans離場！ 如果你同意小編的觀點，請到Change.org進行聯署。 亦請各位到官方會留意的User Voice Suggestion的相關欄目投票。 小編亦會聯絡外國WP網站，看看能否讓這個聯署活動得到世界各地WP用家的關注。 最後，送上有關聯署內容︰ 20th June, 2012 has been one of the darkest days in the history of Windows Phone. On 20th June, 2012, Microsoft announced Windows Phone 8, the next generation Windows Phone platform. At the same time, Microsoft broke the bad news to existing Windows Phone users – WP8 will not be available for existing WP devices to upgrade. Instead, Microsoft showed their “commitment” to current WP users by delivering WP7.8, which is just basically WP7.5 with the whole new Start Screen of WP8. Are current users satisfied? Furious WP users are shouting in the Internet. Microsoft, what do you think? Microsoft, you might think that the existing WP user base is just so small, so you can dumb us anytime you think it’s appropriate. You might think making current WP users angry is no big deal because WP8 must make a huge success, attracting all the consumers to buy your devices. Please, Microsoft, stop and think. Who are the existing WP users? We, the current WP users, are your loyal customers and fans. What you are doing with WP7.8 – barely adding a new Start Screen – is just an insult to us. Being WP fans, we know that WP8 needs a new kernel. We absolutely understand the fact that our existing devices cannot get WP8 due to huge work for kernel and drivers re-writing. On the new kernel for WP8, we, WP fans, are totally on your side. I am sure most of the existing users, who wish WP having a better future, can accept the fact that WP8 apps cannot be supported in WP7.8 due to kernel incompatibility issues. However, it does not mean that it justifies for WP7.8 just having the new Start Screen of WP8. Although they are still not officially announced, many features of WP8, including IE10, Skydrive Integration, Xbox Music & Video, DataSmart, whole-new range of languages and IME supports, etc, have been revealed by different parties. Many existing WP users will love to have these new features on their WP7.8 devices. We believe that some of the above features do not require high grade hardware. Indeed, Microsoft, we can assure you that you will piss most if not all WP users off, if you deliberately leave these “upgradable” features off from our WP7.8 devices. We are your loyal WP supporters. We were always happy to introduce our friends to buy WP7.5 devices. Provided that WP7.8 only brings the new Start Screen without other new features from WP8 which are supported by existing hardware, we just cannot help but tell our dear friends – Do not buy a WP. Word of mouth is of paramount importance in selling smartphones. Please do not embarrass us and yourself. Act quickly and give confidence to the existing WP users; and we will let the whole world know WP is always worth buying. Microsoft, please bring new features of WP8 that are supported by existing WP7.5 hardware to WP7.8. Do not let your loyal WP fans down. Simon Luk Administrator WeLoveWP.HK --
