Progress on 8.1 universal desktop client

[mramgine]

So here's a work in progress.  I've got pretty much everything hooked up and running based on UX elements i copied from the phone, however i still am working on the item layouts, grouping and popup functionality for the item interactions... the item iteractions is working but its pretty ugly currently, so i won't show that yet.  :-)

The screen shots look great!

There will be two layouts based on the dimensions of the app.  This should look familar

Nice! With Cortana in win10, this might give us Windows users voice control on the home!

I'm back on track working on the desktop app.   Most of the UX is done other than cleaning up some rough edges.  The voice stuff in 8.1 is not cortana, so the cool voice stuff won't be there till i can move the app to 10.    Any one have an opinion about moving directly to Windows 10?

Unless i find some other major issue, i'm probably going to try to push out the first release this weekend

I'm working on pushing up the desktop app now.  Hopefully it won't take long to get certified.  I'll probably monitor it for a while before pushing up the phone updates..... just in case i broke something
