[FrodoBaggins]

Could you please provide a source?
I have been using additional bing services like scout, music, etc. simply by keeping the region US while language and speech are still English (India). Cortana should work that way too, IMO.

Yea...cortana will work even if Region is set to US

Here's a short analysis of Sam's tweet: 'More than one hour' is anything greater than 1. 'not many' suggest we are not moving into multiples. That may mean the ETA is one point something.

How do you know that? 10.30 GMT would be 12:30 PM in Germany!!!

Either some really rad Japanese photography from a guy I know on Flickr, or Elly Jackson from La Roux You?

IDK, I was considering some cars (I'm a huge car enthusiast), but I doubt it'll look as good as something trippy

Guys, what are you gonna put on your background?

Ha I'm thinking now. I thought the background images were the ugliest things in the world until I saw the parallax feature!(also the early leaks used some very unattractive images.) I'm doing a before and after start screen comparison later.

1 hour for the WP crack users
5 hours for the X-Files

Will this thread get to 1000 posts before 8.1 is here?

Will it get to 2000?

I thought live tile backgrounds and custom lock screens weren't coming with the initial release? That's what Joe says on Twitter.

I think wp writers are now busy editing their articles.

I don't think it'll get to 2000

1500 maybe?

Only the lock screen changer. Because it is a separate App by Rudy Hyun.

 

[Kashyapjani]

Cant wait for dynamic lock screen apps!!! Isn't Rudy's app on the store yet?

 

[Vamsi Krishna Chowdary]

[Yonic Boom]

Backgrounds are definitely in the 8.1 release. They're present in the emulator.
