I wouldn't say this article is generating FUD - it is pointing out FUD that already exists. One of WP7's selling points over Android was supposed to be consistency of updates. Now it looks like that is falling apart with carriers blocking minor updates and no one on the record about upgrades to Windows Phone 8 (and Microsoft passing up more than one opportunity to confirm upgradeability). Look, there are plenty of things you can say about Android's update situation, but at least you can get manufacturers on the record saying they will upgrade some devices to ICS. On the Windows Phone side, you can't even get that for the most recently released flagship. That's pretty bad from a support perspective whether or not you care about "fragmentation" (which I'll agree is generally overblown).
