I was a bit disappointed but not surprised by the total lack of mention of Windows RT. (there was a reference to RT in the IDE screenshot, but that was about it)

I'm expecting that Windows RT will get more attention at one of the keynotes either tomorrow or Friday.

Joe Belfiore said that you can get extra tiles at ANY size.

Hopefully.

I mentioned earlier in this thread that Microsoft appears to have "cheated" with the ModUI version of Office. During the presentation, once PowerPoint got past the file selection (clearly ModUI) it ceased to look like any ModUI app produced to date. So either Microsoft is changing some of the ModUI elements or using proprietary APIs.

I think Nokia are going to announce Lumia Cyan update features at their 5pm event.

We all know, as now Cortana will be for USA, then my question is still can we get feature like quiet hours, etc. for other regions??
Will we get extra tile on Phones less than 4.5 specially L720 & L520?

 

[hopmedic]

Yup... The Cherry Blossom Pink update from Nokia becomes Cyan.

Can anyone confirm whether or not it is possible to add attachments (documents/photos/videos) to existing email threads WITHOUT using a link to the file?

He's probably talking about the SDK, which I posted a link to.

Yes, the SDK that Hopmedic posted a link to. You can learn a lot from the SDK.
