Bad News.

Remember when people ask about how to allow Cortana to work in their country just by changing the speech settings? I'm sorry but Microsoft have changed that part of the settings. Now there is 2 different kind of language settings to choose. ]Thus, in order for Cortana to work, the whole regional settings had to be changed to the US.

Yes that's correct, whole regional settings had to be changed to the US. I'm sure most are already aware of this.

Yeahh, I think that we know this since the beginning. Or am I wrong? Of course, the arrangement of settings is definitely something new.

From what I see, many people don't really know that it got changed. They though that it is still using the old settings format.

Most of the stuffs will be US based so some stuffs may not work as expected.

Not true, unless your account is tied to US too.

Not required.

I have US setting, use local scout for UK based on my GPS when I need it. My account is an EU country - everything works. Only thing it "may" struggle with is store purchases, but that is because your card may not pay in $$. If you have a card that pays in $$, no matter what country you are actually located in and where you account belongs to, you can enjoy everything US customer enjoys including app purchases.

I really don't think this means Microsoft cares MORE about the US. I think it just means since it is a US based company, it's only logical that they start things off here. It's either this, or we have to wait another year or so to let them finish it globally. Yes, if I was not in the US, I would be upset as well, however, I would, at least, understand.

I have been keeping up with the news and Windows Phone has global support but many of the Dev's and Apps are US specific because that is just where the development pool is the deepest at this time. Things will level out. Have faith in the mothership. :winktongue:

I disagree with where the developer pool is - definitely not in the USA.

Developer pool is pretty much globally right?
