What would make me excited about this build:
-rectangular toggle
-black theme in settings and throughout the entire OS
-ability to disable notification center. I don't want it.
-ability to see my social notifications on the Me Tile as before 8.1
-merged X-Box Video, Music, Podcast, Radio into one hub app with a separated now playing screen with left/right swipe to advance tracks
-restore Local Scout and Bing Vision in the search feature / Cortana
-restore barcode scanning
-restore the original i-bar cursor behavior
-ability to disable the 'cursor nib' in the keyboard
-restored Photo Hub
-restored social networking integration so I don't need a separate app to like, comment, tweet, retweet from the Me Tile, People Hub, Photo Hub, or any contact card
-toggle to remove games from the app list and show only in the Games Hub
-a interface. I can't stand the minimalist trend, and want the option to have the pre-mango style back.
-restore the original behavior of playing videos in IE rather than having them in-line, which results in tiny controls that are hard to tap.
-restore the old messaging hub by integrating Facebook Messaging and Skype so that we don't need to use Skype for messaging, since it'd be integrated.
-add new emoticons, including the new Spock emoticon
-restore the 'Recent' pane in People. I can't be the only one who used this and misses this.
-launch the phone dialer in the dialpad
-stop the combined call history and go back to reverse-chronological order. The behavior now is frustrating and irritating.
-restore Rooms
-restore Pictures in contacts
-change the behavior of buttons: tap+hold on start to launch Cortana; tap on search to search in-app, which is disabled in-game; tap+hold on search to launch Bing Search in the panorama we used to enjoy, including Local Scout, Bing Vision, and Bing Music.
-remove hamburger menus from everywhere in the OS and return to the native pivots that pivot.
