[SSgt Bruskowiz]

Lol, seriously?! Can you post the reference? Need to have a laugh!

Nah Microsoft is a Tuesday Thursday kinda company.

Yes. 10th April is a possible date if the Tuesday-Thursday fact is true. Even the GDR3 Dev Preview was released on a Tuesday, 22nd October 2013.

Plus, the April 10 assumption came from THE man Daniel Rubino but the April 14 assumption was from Derek Kessler and just because I trust Daniel more in these aspects, April 10 seems more valid.

We'll find out tomorrow.

Cortana, but since I'm in Canada it's the Action Centre.

You can always have cortana if you change region in settings, heheh

 

[realwarder]

While Cortana looks fun, some key ones helping daily for me are:

- IE improvements like inline video
- Quiet hours so I don't keep leaving my phone muted
- Split volume controls
- Battery saver showing which apps need shooting
- Notification history

 

[Villain]

honestly... have we ever got updates on the day they were rumored?

 

[Wilson Robert]

No never ever buddy @villain.

It already the 10th here. I hope they will release it today!!!
If they don't then, I'll have to wait until monday (or tuesday). No big deal : Tomorrow is Friday, and we work only half day here in Spain. On the afternoon, I'll play football to forget Barca's elimination of Champions League (soccer for americans^^). Then it's the week end and it's usually to short. And then it's monday!!! So no big deal...

LOL, I also live in Spain and I work the whole day on Friday, as on any other day of the week! I'd never heard that people only work half day on Fridays... Anyway, I am eagerly waiting for it to be released today!

 

[Shankar chandran S]

even i was wondering the same

The only difference you find is in the store and bing page.
Store has the entire item in $ and none of the regional apps shows up, but if you search you will get it.
When I bought an app I changed the region back because I feared that it may affect the tax and verification of credit card, once done I revert back to US English
For bing it has many pages showing all the US related stuffs, But I like the page which shows the Movies though.
Your Phone will work as same as before. (You may very well need to restart your phone, if you are ok with that)

 

[Roman Ekaterininsky]

At least six (6) of Microsoft apps just updated. Includes Sport, Finance, News, Weather, Traver and Cook (don`t know exact names, translating from Russian ones).

Given your name, you must be working in Catalunya. I am working there too (l'Hospitalet). And I know a lot (a LOT) of firms working only friday morning. Don't say you've never heard of that. Of maybe you've never heard of such firm. But I work with a lot of clients, and they mostly always ask us not to set meeting on fridays afternoon cause they live earlier. Ask your friends, your neighbours, you'll see.

I don't say I agree with that, I just say it exists. I don't say it gives a good image of Spain. But please, do not deny it.

Guys, you can pass the time by watching all of Pokemon, starting with episode 1 when Ash gets Pikachu. While you're at it, check the Phone Update section, something might turn up, eventually.

 

[marratj]

Well guys, wait a few more hours, it's still VERY early morning in Redmond (2am right now). If they open the flood gates today, it won't be anytime soon, at least 10 hours from now.

And if they don't, we can continue to play the waiting game on Monday, I don't think anything will happen on Friday.

 

[MooCoo]

With the super fast and cool WordFlow keyboard I can swype all droids and iphones to the dark side of the Action Center.
The new improved calendar for sure is really welcome.
New devtools, yes please.
And of course I want to see what those new senses feel like.
Trusted app list for NFC is a great help.
Separate volume controls, I guess.
Bing smart search to rule them all.

Wtf are you talking about? Update is going to get released on monday, not friday

 

[kukuxumusu]

Guys just relax. If it will come it will come. Don't stress yourself waiting the update. Do some things that will not trigger your anticipation.
