The last one, your favorite.

It says: Choose an app to show detailed status >PHONE<
Then lower: Choose apps to display quick status >bunch of icons<

What do they mean by detailed status? Is it like

Missed calls, who call, what time they called etc... all in the lock screen?

Oh yea...could be...that's why its on my favorite list. .there are So Many improvements.. I'm super excited...

This is the same photo I have the same question about. What is the detailed status? I'm assuming (as Winterfang did) that it shows the person's name, time they called, etc. I realise you might not have the answer, but it is pretty intriguing. I want to try out this new OS already!

Yeah that's pretty cool.

You know what would really be cool?

To put Your groups in there. You see new Facebook/Twiiter statuses directly on your lock screen.

That's quite a bit of customizations there without compromising on the Modern UI feel. Not bad at all.

I can't wait.

I am actually interested to see the fact that Outlook.com accounts is separated from Microsoft Accounts.

That is interesting, too, I wonder why? An outlook.com account works exactly the same as a Microsoft Account. Wait, it IS a Microsoft Account, isn't it? confused.

The Outlook.com account will probably have full support for aliases, though I guess that can be rolled into the Microsoft account anyway.

So how different is the Outlook from an MS account? Is it the Live account then?

Are there any more WiFi options you can see? I am still waiting for a windows phone that can actually connect to my EAP-TLS work WiFi.

The while Microsoft Account vs Outlook account is likely just to differentiate your MAIN Microsoft ID (MSID) vs one used just for email. You can only have one MSID per phone, and that has all your app purchases, XBox live info, etc. I'm willing to bet this is the only difference.

Its for the enterprise users. Most businesses have Outlook (work) emails. So your MSFT account could be your personal email account or MSFT account i.e. current hotmail/live account and then you add Outlook account from work that will have encryption, remote access to wipe etc.

Edit: With regards to purchasing, if you logged in using Outlook account you can. But I doubt they will let you login to phone using your enterprise outlook account because it requires the encryption set up, server side.

People here talking about enterprise are probably more right than me. If they've separated Outlook.com then you'd just have the Microsoft account as that address and a "separate" Outlook account for mail. This is currently how my accounts work, I have my Live ID as a gmail address and I need a separate Google account for my actual gmail inbox.

If not, it will just be for another non-primary Microsoft account address.

Thanks for the pictures. Very interesting indeed. Will make my wait for a WP8-Device VERY hard.

 

[GoodThings2Life]

Xenophos, can you show some pics of the new Outlook/Hotmail apps?

Also, I'm interested in seeing the People hub.

 

[Daakkon]

any notification pane? Any updates to the me tile? Or what about the calender? Is it useful now?

Hum.. I guess that zune pass will completely transform itself into Xbox music around or just before the launch of the devices?

 

[Blackwood504]

You can use any email address for a Microsoft Account. It doesn't have to be @hotmail, @live, or @outlook. So it is very possible to have myname@yahoo.com or myname@gmail.com as your sign in email for your Microsoft Account and have a Outlook.com email and your main email account.

Microsoft Account Site
When you sign up for a Microsoft account it asks you if you want to use your own email address, which could be anything.

Yea, it's already showing up in the Xbox Dashboard beta...as well as cloud playlist.

Calendar looks pretty much the same to me, but I didn't go through all of the text. Here is the in-work version of the Calendar chapter from Paul Thurott's WP8 book
