Lots of rumors at this point about what will be announced...

Windows Phone 8.1

Windows 8.1 (big update)

New Nokia models

Surface 3

I would also not be surprised to see an announcement of an acquisition in the dev space, Xamarin comes to mind but I dont think that will happen (yet).

Am I the only one who is hearing a weird interfering conversation being picked up by the guys microphone? (at time 2:11:30)

It's a little difficult to hear.

edit: Looks like they fixed it now. (2:27:00)

Tuned in mid-way through WP 8.1 Cortana part, and what stood out was the "Remind me to X when I next talk to Y". That alone would convince me to switch from Android when my I can no longer stand my current device.

I hope no demo requires NuGet. It's been down since a few hours now :(

Is this jumping and skipping like hell for anyone else?

chrome and IE.

Apparently there are no talks about C++ at all, what a dissapointment.

I was expecting Herb Sutter or Bjarne giving a talk.

Looking forward if they will present the C# native code compilers that were talked about at Visual Studio 2013 launch event.

I think this is the first time I've seen a silverlight plugin.

Does anyone have two audio streams playing on this link?

Is it my fault that I read this as "Microsoft Builds 2048 Day 1 live"?

>TypeScript

Why? What's wrong with js?

>This rapid growth [of javascript] has outpaced the growth of the language itself, which lacks features that allow teams to communicate requirements and build applications safely.

what? I guess I'll just have to wait for the announcement.

edit: After further investigation: http://www.typescriptlang.org/Playground/

It seems kind of cool, but aren't they just reinventing the wheel?
