The Waiting Room (WP8.1 Dev Preview)

[radmanvr]

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the new Swype like keyboard. That has me uber excited... also Cortana and Action Center.

You like swype? I find it weird to use. I remember having to install gingerbread keyboard on my Android to replace the swype keyboard that Honeycomb/Ice Cream Sandwhich made default.

Not excited for this feature but Cortana absolutely

Action center, start screen backgrounds and WordFlow keyboard.

So I guess no point in hoping its the 10th...

Improved IE and Parallax Background effect

 

[avigyan]

Not find much utility in a Voice Assistant, hence Cortana is not a breakthrough feature for me. Plus the US only factor doesn't enthuse me any more.

Why not? I am actually considering 10th than 14th for the Preview to release.

being a previews iPhone user, I'm not to static about Cortana since I rarely used Siri. I am however super static about the swipe keyboard and action center. I loved to use swipe on my android devices and action center being a feature on other platforms, I cant wait to see how windows has made the experience any different from android or iOS.

Why not? I'm very hopeful about tomorrow (even today, to be honest).
