No joke. But it is really faster. Multitasking is improved. Apps are snappy not just like in 8. And the os is pretty stable :)

Haven't seen resume yet, which is quite nice considering how often it would appear before this update. OS is definetely even more smooth on my 920,everything is just fast. Can't comment on multitasking, looks good, you can swipe down to close apps.

I still get the dreaded "Not Up To Date" on my MS/Twitter/LinkedIn accounts when trying to backup text messages...although it does give me more options under the "Text Message Backup" now (time-frame adjustments). Oh well, future updates maybe. Other than this though, seems to be pretty awesome!

It seems the games app has been broken out too which is terrible.
It's now dreadfully slow and hasn't been updated to show friends playing X1 games and does not show X1 achievements. Very poor job on the games front.

Everything else is ace though.

If you guys find that your phone is slow after installing the update then check the app list, you'll see it's reinstalling your apps.

I'm sure that's one of the things they'll fix, I haven't had any issues with it though.

Is the store down? I can't connect to the store, and none of my friends (who are still on WP8) can connect either.

I know my network connection is working because Cortana has been spectacular :love:
