Cortana will likely not be in Windows 9 Preview, but it will be disabled as its not final code/incomplete therfore lacking features and is buggy, but I bet some hackers from the computer/windows scene will be able to check about that for sure and maybe enable it even, I just dont mind seeing a preview of Cortana but I'm more excited for the NEW Windows itself, the start menu, multiple desktops, modern apps in windowed mode and so on.
I'm excited for the Phone/RT preview later. Looking forward to upgrading my Lumia 520. Hopefully this is when the Metro 2.0 UI will be added to the x86 builds.
pcworld.com/article/2687396/microsoft-exec-windows-9-to-be-announced-next-week.html Confirmed ? I hate waiting, it should leak now, wtf. Note: sorry I cant post it as an http link obviously because I don't have 20 posts yet xD
What? November? Seriously it lol OMG EDIT: Predict suicides ^_~ @bchat I never!, for the love of god do not get the real sense of the word, sarcastic humor nothing else.
I sincerely think Cortana will not be active in the Windows 9 Technical Preview come 30th September as well. There are indications in the prior leaks Cortana is deactivated, which, by all means show that it is not dead but deactivated due to some reasons best known to Microsoft.
