Sweet can't wait, now we just need Swype support and I'll never look at Android again.

File manager, anyone?
Naa, would use up even more space for such a program that isn't useful to begin with. Please think of the 520 series with its lack of hard drive room (if we did get a file viewer, it would be a separate app, which means the OS would take up more).File manager, anyone?
My main concern about that image (if it's real, which it might very well not be) is that the 4 setting icons appear to be only shortcuts, since it says something about "access settings". It should be a direct toggle, otherwise we end up with the same situation where you have to leave the app you're using in order to, for example, turn off auto rotate. I'll be very disappointed if it's just shortcuts to access the settings rather than quick toggles, like we have with the volume control.

Coming in Window 8.1, being tested right now. According to their sources. Windows Phone 8.1 includes notification center and Siri-like personal assistant | The Verge
I was hoping the notification center would be unique and be accessed somehow other than a swipe from the top. But I guess MS must've chose this so it's familiar to people coming from other platforms. At the very least I hope they do the animation correctly: instead of the notification center covering the current screen (the way it does on Android/iOS) it should push the current screen down and out of the way (like the animation of swiping from the start screen to the app list). At least this way it'll seem a bit unique.
Windows button as notification light, Pull down notification center and Swype keyboard are musts. Also Cortana along with Bing Services aka functional (not NSA pervasive like Google Now) assistant would be awesome. Get me a Swype keyboard though and I would really never go back to TiRED OS and Android!
MS must speed up live tiles times to update it's too annoying when you see a battery app like insider on live tile that not be updated until 30 minutes or more

honestly it doesn't bother me. In practice it's more like 20 minutes, and if you haven't been using your phone, then you haven't been subjecting it to serious drain, and the number a battery live tile displays is usually within 0-3% of the actual value. If the tile says 68% but it's actually 65%, who cares? Perfect accuracy is not required; all you really need to know is, "am I closer to 60% or 70%?"
Admittedly if you've been playing a game or something, you could drop 30% in 20 minutes and the tile is useless, but it's a simple process of tapping the tile to get an updated value in the app. I KNOW that I have to check the app and not the tile after gaming, so it's not like im ever mislead by the tile: It's easy to know when it's wrong.
