    I think 140629 means its compiled on 2014/06/29, maybe 13:40, and the digital signature timestamp is 2014/06/30

    I believe someone mentioned that the hidden Cortana in some builds can be enabled by simple registry change, if its hidden this way in the public preview, hopefully someone can find out the reg hack.

    Yeah, NaiveUser, you unlocked the hidden features in 7850, if the Cortana files were in the preview, you would be able to perform it again(hopefully).

    If that is going to be the case then it mostly likely to be for the Windows 9 desktop. The use of Cortana as an app in touch-based with a modern UI cannot be over-emphasized. A registry hack might means it is not going to have full functionality. Either it is going to report errors or crash all the time. I would rather stay clear from that looking at Cortana is meant to do.

    more like personal assistant.

    You say: Cortana, what is the weather?
    Cortana says: It is 64 degrees and raining. Would you like a 3 day outlook?
    You say: No, goodbye
    Cortana says: ok, I will be here when you need me, just call my name!

    Not sure yet, nobody runs these builds natively.
