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

I was hearing that as well for a while but it seems to have stopped.

Get a haircut!! In his 40's and trying to look like Bieber, that's just sad.

Unified buying.

In-app purchases will be synced.

You can set for people to buy apps separately for different devices.

 

Submitting to the store is 50x faster.

Possibly metro office?

Office team was invited, touch first for modern windows platforms

A preview for metro office

With ribbon and touch enhanced experience

 

directx makes it fast and smooth

Office is also on a phone, and the powerpoint slideshow syncs.

Silverlight apps will work and you can easily update apps to a Silverlight phone 8.1 app, or a universal app

More improvements to windows phone

Cortana twitter demo kind of failed

You can convert desktop code to windows runtime with little modification

The broker runs in a separate app broker in another process. Win32 in WinRT. Full .net access. Only for sideloaded apps.

I think they just killed Sony with this. (exaggeration , but still, this is a pretty major feature)

[HawkMan]

Full win32 and .net access only for side loaded apps. Does that mean you can install modern apps from anywhere now ?

[gohpep]

Kinect v2 for windows.

Kinect v2 is the best way to create animations

Let's talk about Xbox graphics

Forza looks amazing.

Low level control on DirectX.

DirectX 12 on all devices.

Nvidia has an early DirectX 12 driver.

The internet of things

.net interconnecting everything

All this cross-platform talk, and interoperability... Looks like those that want Microsoft to cut out the Metro "crap" UI, are out of luck. I foresee a death knell in Win32 applications.

 

It looks good. Everything is coming together nicely. Windows Phone 8.1, Windows 9, and XBox One all look like they'll be winners.

Full win32 and .net access only for side loaded apps. Does that mean you can install modern apps from anywhere now ?

It's intended for old enterprise apps, but even some Microsoft employees demoed sideloading to be possible along with sideloading tools, but that was taken down.

Windows On Devices.

[LittleNeutrino Veteran]

so far for me the best features they showed were the first Lock screen he had on there, the word flow keyboard and the per application (on demand) VPN. very excited for that.

Seems like this video will be put up soon demoing the piano.

There's a hint at a smart watch on that slide.

The windows desktop is the topic now.
