OMG Build has been amazing, MS dropping bombs left right and center, Amazing new start menu, free updates (and windows 8.1 for developers), Universal applications (hello PC games on Xbox One), Windowed modern app's, "siri killer" Cortana, new nokia phones and window of internet things.

Free Xbox One and $500 MS giftcards for every audience member too xD

MS seems SO on the ball, they're fucking killing it.

Apparently they didn't use Jen Taylor to voice Cortana as was rumored, I was just watching a demo of Cortana and it sounded nothing like Cortana : ( Hopefully they'll get her to do it for the Xbox One version at least.

They have, confirmed by Frankie at 343.

The stuff at the start that was very smooth, was Jen Taylor. The stuff in the demo was Jen but it was contorted and beta/unfinished. The finished product will be smooth and silky  and I quote "JenJennyJenjen"!

Or watch the conference back - http://channel9.msdn.com/

It's about 30 mins in I think?

3:57:00 - hahaha Satya Nadella asking Cortana to remind him to become Master Chief in 500 years xD

Lumia 930 is the new phone right? just been checking it out, pretty awesome, going to get it when it comes out =D

Yeah. They also announced new mid-range Lumia's, the 630 and 635, which retail for somewhere between $159 and $189, much cheaper than the $599 Lumia 930. 

Think I'll settle for a mid range Lumia. No way I pay that much 599 for a phone.

Oh nevermind I'll get the 635, sucks that it's not hitting the US until July though.
