Kind of funny when you consider that the big knock on IE was it's lack of support for standards. Now the others' try and blaze that path and get praised for it by many. People are funny that way, their views are determined more by what they're told than what they know.

I'm not sure what you're talking about. The volume rocker should apply to what you're doing at the time, for instance: in a game/music/media situation, it should turn volume up/down for media. The same applies in situations where you'd want to turn ringer+notifications up/down. The reason's...

I find myself going back and forth with different backgrounds. Sometimes an image, sometimes solid colors, sometimes gradients. I think what's important, is that we now have those options. You can choose whichever suits your tastes or you can change regularly, like myself, when you're ready for...

Exactly. I'm amazed that some of the changes are a big surprise, especially for people here on this site. We knew what was coming, at least to a good extent, before this preview saw the light of day. Now too many people are acting as if their in complete shock. I'm not saying that I'm happy with...

I was a big fan also. Was something I used quite a lot. I think we'll have to wait and see once apps are updated/released if anything changes or it remains as crippled as it is now.

So all is looking good now? That's the way I read your post. I hope so, and if it's all straightened out, I'm glad you got it sorted out.

I think people are jumping the gun on a lot of things. We'll see how every thing works once apps are updated and manufacturers/carriers implement their firmware to go with the OS. I expect a lot of changes in the apps like, Games, Music, Videos, Facebook, etc. before the update is rolled out to...

No big surprise there. People tend to gravitate more to the negative than the positive. When something works, most people don't find much motivation to chime in, but let there be a problem.... You get the idea.

Not sure on this one. I'd try contacting MS support and see if they can get it straightened out for you. If you haven't already, and you're willing to go through it, a hard reset and resetting it up may help.

I'm pretty happy with a lot of this update: Cortana, Action Center, IE 11, Swipe (I wasn't sure how useful I'd find it, but after a few minutes of fooling around with it, I've become a big fan), the Store (very impressed with the improvements here), start screen backgrounds, VPN support...

Good to hear. It's always nice when a problem goes away.

I'm in complete agreement with you. No real problems have plagued me and I like the changes so far. We'll see what issues/annoyances pop up over time, but as of now, I'm plenty satisfied.

No issues here either on a 928. Sorry to hear that some people are having some problems.

Re: should have waited ...... It's available. You have to update the app and set it up to connect with your phone.

No regrets updating. At some point, we all have to get used to the changes and I'm all for getting that out of the way. Store works fine for me; here Drive+ & here Maps all good; Facebook connected with phone (definitely a little strange getting used to People & Me tiles now.) All in all, I...
