Weird, The Verge isn't doing a live blog for Build, but they are doing one for Amazon's live event.

Tom just posted a live blog. http://live.theverge.com/microsoft-build-2014-live-blog/

Windows 8.1 Update 1 / Windows Phone 8.1 coming today!

[gohpep]

Live stream seems to be delayed by 30 seconds. That's expected.

Bragging about Steam on Windows, and Windows phone

Our Windows 8.1 Update. That's the name so far.

[gohpep]

Windows Phone 8.1 will be more personal and hints at more phones.

 

cromax and prestige join OEMs. Shown phones.

 

WHAT NO THAT LOOK WEIRD

Lock screen locks heavily modified, increased user customization.

Android like API, can modify the system heavily.

 

Action center and notification center.

 

[gohpep]

Seems like the API is getting better, and the Windows Phone is becoming more open.

 

He seems reluctant to show the start screen.

 

Start screen shown. Looks a lot like Windows 8.x

 

[ATLien_0]

Lock Screen themes/apps, sweet!!

AND Notification center

[gohpep]

Start screen leaks were right.

SHE COMES TO LIFE

CORTANA

HALO AND BING STUFF WITH MANKIND ACHIEVEMENTS

Cortana confirmed.

Half life 3 confirmed

 

Cortana has a sense of humour.

"Cortana, I love it, it's certainly more catchy than Microsoft Personal Assistant V1 2014." That's a Cortana reply.

Seems like Siri + Google Now, combined.

[dipsylalapo Supervisor]

Start screen with notifications and a notification centre. I could well be jumping back onto the Windows Phone bandwagon. 

[gohpep]

Cortana can be extended with apps.

Cortana Notebook. Probably the last remains of the Courier idea.

Kind of like an NSA database.

Advanced do not disturb with inner circle.

Belfiore skips a leak headline on the news :)

Cortana can scan email. And the service does not read it. Your phone only looks at it, and then processes it into anonymous data for the service to get information.

Microsoft seems more laid back.

The voice seems roboty.

Voice recognition has probably a 1 second delay per syllable/common word

Cortana bugs out, and will be a beta.

Cortana bugs out again.

It is US only for now, but will be launched to other countries soon.

Cortana bugs out TWICE when converting temperature in kelvin.

Cortana has a sense of humour, and can answer halo questions

Can filter content on the phone like email

Cortana can be silent

I'll give Microsoft some slack, they need more data for cortana to learn about stuff

 

and cortana can do event based reminders. when you talk with a person, it can remind you to say something.

NEW VERSION OF SKYPE

Probably better.

Call failed.

"This is totes amazeballz."

-  Myerson

 

Cortana knows that she called siri a b***h on jimmy fallon's show

Business support for Windows 8.1

Enterprise VPN support.

S/MIME support. Encyrpted email

Can block saving files locally

 

can block apps during work

awkward conversation

if you remove a corporate link, very trace of the business will leave your phone

new redesigned store

No more lorem ipsum on the monthly view in calendar

Shows weather

 

 

WiFi Sense

Learns about good wifi networks

automatically connects to public wifi networks

automatically accepts the portal page

you don't have to ask what's the wifi password

will share private wifi networks automatically and will have them in a sandboxed environment, only internet access

integrated Skype with phone

Kind of like Facetime

Other apps can extend to the phone app

Swype functionality.

Called Word Flow

[neo1911]

Windows 8.1 Update 1 is next. Rumors are flying that Wzor and Canouna will be executed on stage, but I have my doubts.

[gohpep]

World Flow beats the world's fastest typing, which was previously held by Galaxy S4

Windows 8.1 Update 1 is next. Rumors are flying that Wzor and Canouna will be executed on stage, but I have my doubts.

How will they do it? I guess Cortana can do it herself.

As expected, Windows Phone 8.1 has IE11.

PLEASE HAVE A FORWARD BUTTON
 

Has inprivate browsing and reading mode

Will roll out in the next few months to windows phone 8 phones

windows phone 8.1 will sync to windows 8.x

Windows 8.1 discussion starts

[-T- Member]

That looks cool, seems like it's time to get a Windows Phone

[gohpep]

Bing and Cortana share interests, with the top stories bar on the homepage.

Enterprise Mode in IE11.

Can change ActiveX controls

Re-enables legacy features

Changes user agent string

IT experts are able to set list of sites

UI improvements to mouse and keyboard

 

taskbar is the most used UI feature

win32 and store apps right next to each other

title bar

clapping

taskbar popping up that dot matrix hates :)

people are clapping more

 

tablets will be unaffected

pc settings tile

power button and search button

right click context menu

you must have heard of this unless you've been living under a rock

Store update. Will come after launch. Better for mice.

search will automatically search in store and show popular apps

Will be released April 8th and will be available for Windows 8 and Windows 8.1

Let's talk about developers.

[spenser.d]

I hope they programmed cortana to give some wiseass answer when I ask her if this cave is a natural formation... :laugh:

[gohpep]

AFD stands for another freaking driver.

That driver is for winsock.

It was because the driver can't be named the same as a dll

 

I hear some talking on the live stream

 

UNIVERSAL WINDOWS APPS

Windows Runtime everywhere. PCs, tablets, and phones.

 

Unified grid system interface

 

or you can change the design for each device

[Crimson Rain]

is it me only or there is some crosstalk in the live keynote (some woman talking about something!??)
