Windows Phone 7.8 to be released on 28th November

Not that long ago, we heard that Windows Phone 7.8 had hit RTM (Release to Manufacturing) status and that it would not come with Internet Explorer 10. Microsoft has yet to reveal when Windows Phone 7.8 will make its appearance and all we know is that this update is designed for those who will be unable to update to Windows Phone 8.

Now, a new rumor claims that Windows Phone 7.8 will be released this Wednesday, November 28.

 

We learned that Windows Phone 7.8 had been Released to Manufacturing (RTM) and that IE10 would not be making an appearance in the update. Microsoft has yet to official reveal when Windows Phone 7.8 will be rolled out but the company has indicated that it would be released soon after the release of Windows Phone 8. 

The update will bring the new start screen with new accent colours, Bing lock screen wallpaper, and on Nokia handsets SMS drafts and the ability to keep WIFI active when the device is suspended. it also includes re-sizable tiles and the removal of the gap on the right side of the Start Screen. Microsoft hasn't been too chatty about Windows Phone 7.8, which is designed to work on phones that don't have the hardware requirements for Windows Phone 8.

Internet Explorer 10 Preview for Windows 7 is now available for download

IE10 for Windows 7 is now available to download in preview form, which will enable all the new features that IE10 brings on Windows 7 operating systems. The download is available online, and we expect it to be pushed through Windows Update when IE10 becomes stable enough on Windows 7.


There doesn't seem to be any huge changes regarding the UI, so expect many changes under the hood. IE10 on Windows 8 is a fantastic browser, in fact it's so good I use it as my default browser. I suppose it should work just a good on Windows 7 operating systems.
