I enjoyed the entire presentation. It looks like Microsoft is really trying to go places. With that being said; the PC/tablet stuff was awesome as was the Xbox stuff. The experimental stuff was... Unique interested to see where its headed. The stuff for phone didn't really blow me away, the UI was only marginally updated at most (good, I definitely didn't believe they were gonna go full blown UI refresh). I like the amazing fluidity that Windows 10 is going to offer between Microsoft products, unfortunately however that does nothing to fix the app situation for phones. Sure it makes it easier for devs to write the apps for it but that's not a solid guarantee that they will, if snapchat still doesn't want to write an app then there's still no app. The good thing though is it seems that a lot of these "features" seem to be "services" that Microsoft will likely offer on competing platforms (e.g. the Xbox app on W10 is probably what smartglass is going to turn into on other platforms) so it'll be easier to still own an iPhone and keep the ability to use Microsoft services and have a good mobile experience.

Right but we don't know if that's how Windows 10 will handle it as well. Luckily for us were here to give feedback regarding this scenario ;)
