Few little "delight" moments I've found with WP 8.1 now (from others who have it or are using the emulator):
The status bar icons stay, all the time. In previous versions they would disappear after a few seconds, in fact, this was something they specifically called out and did intentionally. Cosmetic, but ugh...soon it will look like Android up there, which already looks like the old Windows XP taskbars with quick launch icons and resident programs all running garble garble lawn.
The Photos hub is now a Pivot instead of a Panorama. No background picture, just a list of albums on a black background, no new pics from linked accounts, no easy access to favorites, all the various photo type apps listed in one spot also. Double-ugh.
The new calendar! Week view! Finally! We have day view, week, month, year...that's it! Whooo hooo!
Wait, where the hell is Agenda view I've been using for 3 years? The hell!?
