I was referring to the Windows Phone app ecosystem. There is no app ecosystem for WP8 yet, and I assume that it will allow you to run WP7 apps.
And I did use WP7 for a week. My impressions of the Metro-style are that it is love-or-hate and I fall into the latter. WP8 is a continuation the Metro design language.

> Well, Windows Phone has failed to gain traction in the marketplace and therefore lacks a proper app ecosystem.
Can you even buy a WP8 phone yet? Give it a year after it's released before passing judgment on its app ecosystem.
You're confusing the old with the new.
Their whole deal here is that they are re-inventing the product line. It's not the old WP flop anymore.
> Personally, I think it's a Pepsi. Sweet on first impression, but cumbersome to use every day.
That's coming from someone that's never even used it once!
Personally, I think they have an awesome product. Once MS and manufacturers gear up their marketing, we'll see what happens.
