First Windows Phone Update

Starting today, some of you might see something new on your Windows Phone: A message announcing that a software update is available.

Now, before you get too excited: This isn’t the update you’ve probably been reading about or perhaps waiting for, the one with copy and paste (but that’s coming soon).

No, this update is a relatively small one.

What’s in this update?

This first update for Windows Phone is designed to improve the software update process itself. So while it might not sound exciting, it’s still important because it’s paving the way for all future goodie-filled updates to your phone, such as copy and paste or improved Marketplace search.

In the future, be sure to check out the new update history page on the Windows Phone website for a brief, plain-English summary of what each update does or what features it adds to your phone.

When will You get this update?

We’ll begin sending it out today. But to help ensure the process goes smoothly, it won’t be sent to everyone at once. So you might see an update message before your spouse, co-worker, or neighbor (or vice versa). This is a common industry practice. That said, we understand you’re eager to have the latest software on your phone, and our goal is to deliver it to you as quickly as possible.

Remote Desktop “SPAN” vs. “Use all my monitors…” in SP1

For those of you who are using two or more screens with Remote Destop the new feature “Use all my monitors for the remote session” might be interesting.

You can ged rid of the “mstsc /span” command and just mark the checkbox in the remote desktop connection’s display tab.

With this option you can use all of the nice Windows 7 features like “Window Snap” and Co.

This checkbox will be available with the new Windows 7 Service Pack 1 which will be released in the next few weeks.

Windows Phone 7 Updates

One question Microsoft hears often is: What’s next for Windows Phone?
So here is their answer: 

Copy and paste

Soon you’ll be able to copy text from emails, text messages, web pages, and Office Mobile documents, and paste it anywhere you can type.

Using copy and paste is easy and intuitive. In many cases you just tap a word, slide your finger to highlight any additional text, then tap the Copy icon. To insert this text in a message or app, just tap the spot where it should go, then tap the Paste icon.

Copy and paste is a handy way to quickly send someone’s latest Facebook update, turn-by-turn directions from Maps, or a must-see link from Internet Explorer Mobile. Once you’ve copied something, you can paste it again and again.

The new feature adds to the list of time-saving shortcuts already built into Windows Phone, like the ability to tap an address on a webpage to map it (US only).

Faster apps and games

Nobody likes to wait. That’s why we’ve whittled down the time it takes for apps and games to start up and resume. It’s all part of our focus on getting you to the things you love, easier and faster.

Better Marketplace search

We’ve streamlined Marketplace search to make it easier to find specific apps, games, or music. Press the Search button in the apps or games section of Marketplace and you’ll see only apps or games in the results.

Press Search in the music section of Marketplace to search just the music catalog.

Getting phone updates

How will you know when an update is available? Easy. Your phone is designed to automatically tell you via a pop-up message (unless you’ve turned this option off). For more details, see How do I update my phone software?
