We in the UsA were always the last to get NOKIA updates, and with Windows phones coming now, I am worried that USA will be turned off the grid for non- Windows phones

The updates are based on the product code. The reason many USA N8s don't have the Anna update is that Nokia have not pushed out the update for N8s with USA product codes. There is probably also some inertia on the part of the USA carriers, with whom Nokia do not have a great relationship. The updates are only carrier-dependent if your device has a carrier-specific product code. If your device is sim-free, you will not have this problem.
