Microsoft has demoed the Windows 7.8 start screen in a video embedded below. The update will be the last major upgrade that owners of current Windows 7 phone owners will see. It is modelled in many ways on the Windows Phone 8 start screen, helping to minimize the disappointment for current owners as their handsets will not be compatible with the next-generation of the OS.
Microsoft Windows Phone product evangelist Ben ‘The PC Guy’ Rudolph quickly runs users through the forthcoming upgrade. Among the additions are resizable tiles and other customization options including changing the colors of individual tiles. Microsoft has also put together a new blog highlighting the new apps coming to the Windows Phone 7.8 OS.
