That's a problem if you want more than that.

        While not as revolutionary as i may have hoped, I'm probably going to buy a cheap WP handset just to try out WP10 during the preview.

          Anonymous, 21 Jan 2015When it says 'share apps with desktop' does it also imply t... moreNo, it implies the application (which runs on top of a runtime framework) will be the same for different architectures.

          For instance, in Android you have the same app running on regular ARM SoCs, but also on Intel CPUs or even MIPS.

          It's the runtime framework that has to support the CPU architecture, not the app.

              When it says 'share apps with desktop' does it also imply that Windows for phones is going to be intel x86 based? Or do they still remain arm based?

                Effin tiles! When will Microsoft learn that "customization" isn't just changing background colors and moving around effin squares one place to the other?

                Oh wait, I can change the square size. Go crazy, I can make it a rectangle!

                Take an hint from Android!

                        So what they're implying is Cortana will become like the NSA - learning and tracking your every move, even when Web browsing & handling all your cloud based storage and personal information....
