Day-by-day the news out of Redmond isn't encouraging...It seems as though the transition to the NT kernel is causing issues... The problem is not only the delays its causing but the move to NT kernel looks to be adversely affecting performance...The so-called super smoothness of WP7 may give way to lags here and there even with the latest S4 processors and 1GB RAM... Now being honest, the "super smoothness" was marketed alot so for them to have this issue will kill the platform to a huge extent... This would really strike off WP8 from many people's wish-list and Nokia will find itself again as the purveyor of imperfect hw+sw combo...
