Microsoft Misspoke Regarding Windows Phone 8 Updates

This is why companies have to be careful in their external communication: if a spokesperson reveals relevant details about an anticipated product, the news is going to be reported. Such a situation happened just three days ago, when Microsoft employee Nuno Silva went on the record.

What he meant to say was that existing Windows Phone applications should work with the new operating system.
