To reflect the magnitude of the changes and bring the branding in line, Microsoft’s Bing mobile apps for iOS and Android will be revamped and rebranded ‘MSN’ over the coming months.

MS bluetooth speaker would actually be a proprietary wifi direct implementation (to prevent 3rd parties from making filthy lucre off the speaker with out paying a separate royalty) that required a separate bluetooth adapter that would risk bricking the firmware of both the speaker and the adapter.

It would support half the dlna spec and only be able to make content available on your network, and not actually play back any networked audio on the speaker itself

but it would have face plates, which nobody would want

these are variations on actual ms hardware dept decisions for anyone not obsessively following the xbox

This update enables additional capabilities for Windows Update notifications when new updates are available to the user. It applies to a computer that is running Windows 8.1 or Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1).

Mystery patch KB 3035583 for Windows 7 and 8 revealed posted:

Once the update is downloaded it adds a folder to System32 called "GWX" which contains 9 files and a folder called "Download". One of the four .EXE files reveals what the update really is, the description of GWXUXWorker.EXE states, "Download Windows 10″. This explains the X in the name, the X is the Romanian [sic] number 10.

The folder also contains "config.xml" which contains some URLs that at the moment of writing didn't work. The config file mentions "OnlineAdURL" that points to https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=526874 and Telemetry BaseURL pointing to http://g.bing.com/GWX/.

Dudau adds:

In the same system folder, users can find a config XML file that goes through the program's behavior depending on what "phase" Windows 10 is in. For example, currently the program doesn't display any notifications or act in any way because we're currently in the "None" phase. But as we get to the "RTM" phase of Windows 10, users will likely see a new Live Tile show up on their Start Screen, pointing to the upcoming OS. Similarly, taskbar notifications will also be displayed when Windows 10 launches, prompting users to update.

You have always been able to cut and paste in a cmd.com window, you just had to right click with the mouse. I had always assumed that the control key shortcut never worked so you weren't intercepting keystrokes meaningful to the application in the window, since ^C has killed DOS command line applications since forever.
