Windows Phone 8.1 : Redesigned around you

So, will it be in WP 8.1 for real? Or not?
And what about that "This one will never happen" at the bottom?..
 
Overall, I like what you've done. There are some parts of the interface that seem slightly too busy, but maybe that's just me - I opposed the new start screen too.

I remain skeptical on the usability of having so many different swipe gestures, and I think you built a bit too much redundancy into the changes (swipe left or right, swipe up or down, etc). I also think cramming everything into the task switcher is a questionable approach, I already feel the long press is annoying for task switching itself, let alone secondary functions in there.
 
Fantastic, I hope Microsoft sees this. I especially like the multitasking and IE changes, both of which seem likely to happen as this is how Windows 8 handles them.
 
This has to be fake as this is exactly what everyone wants. My pants would need changed if this were true
 
Just jizzed in my pants!!!! :D Great work!!!!! I do think that some screenshots the "page" seems busy...but still amazing work!!!!
 
Looks very nice! Although I have to agree with some, the app switcher looks too busy. Don't like how there are buttons at the bottom and I really don't get the 'pinning' there. Also, it's counter-intuitive to place quick shortcuts there, imo.
 
Nice! Could use a few minor tweaks here and there but love it overall. Quick, somebody send this to @joebelfiore.

The pinning idea was to keep an app from being bumped off the stack. More of a problem when the limit was five but still can be applicable. Say you're writing an email but need to look something up, so you open and click a few links, but when you finally fond what you need, the Bing vard and the internet cards have bumped your partially written email off into nonexistance! D. This prevents apps from getting kicked off.

On the crowded thing, I can understand, but I got the idea because I constantly go there to check the time in apps that don't have the status bar up top. So I'd love to be able to quickly switch off or on those settings in the same place. But hey, this is all up to Microsoft in the end.
