Not only did they unleash this massive worldwide, cross device, cross carrier update but there’s been a known method to force your phone to trigger the update early. Since Microsoft set out this intentional slow rollout to give them time to test you’d presume they would not want line cutters. But you’d be wrong: Whoah … Read more
Let the haters hate. What Microsoft unveiled today was something no one else has done. On on worldwide basis they released a simultaneous update across carriers and devices.
