Yep. gonna be sweet.

I wonder how soon it'll be available. I've got Office 365, so would expect to get it right away.

This adding a modern UI to existing apps looks like it could be really awesome!

Bit late to the party but just watched the video on the action centre, looks freakin' awesome!

 

[hopmedic]

Tell us the updates are live for developers now!

 

[BIGPADDY]

lol bigpaddy, you've got your own live blogging stream going here!

I'm over excited!

I missed out important parts of the Windows 8.1 and new SDK I closed my tab for the stream.

 

[BIGPADDY]

Cool features added to WP8.1 for IE11!

The Bing search feature is one of my most favorite and most used features in windows phone 8. Looks like they took it off and replaced it with cortana.

No Cortana only for usa for others only Bing search I believe

I knew I should have gone to this thing for the fast updates...

Tell us the updates are live for developers now!

What does that mean?

 

[WillysJeepMan]

Office for touch!

Looks like Microsoft "cheated" with the Modern UI version of Office. PowerPoint looks nothing like all of the other ModUI apps. Either there will be an update to the visual style of the ModUI or Microsoft is using proprietary APIs.

WP Dev Preview coming sometime this month. No dates.

 

[Susmit257]

Cortana initially is in USA only, UK is next.. Then China and other countries...

 

[Kalyan Chowdary]

I miss old photos hub with background pictures��

 

[Zacharyw70]

No WP 8.1 Release date or release for the Developer Preview. Wonder what went wrong that's pushed it back so far, I would have thought it would have been released at Build.

- No option to install apps on SD CARD?
- No File Explorer?

these were the 2 things I wanted the most on WP 8.1, IMO is not as incredible as I thought it'd be Why Microsoft do that to us! It means I'm still not gonna be able to do things Android can, I don't know... hopefully they hurry up with WP 7.5 then

Does that mean, it'll be out today itself? Surprise!!
