[DISCUSSION] Windows 10 Technical Preview Build 9926

You didn't read why they skipped Windows 9 did you?
Microsoft changes the start menu, people bitch. They bring back the start menu, people bitch.
Ugly ass icons are being changed in the internal builds.

Microsoft might as well ship you Windows 10 as Windows 7 then if it makes you happier.

 

change your region to US then it will work.

 

^Lmao. Yeah someone needs to do a little reading on why they skipped Windows 9.

Here's a hint: Legacy code.

 

Can someone provide a link to an official statement from MS about why they skipped Windows 9?
I haven't been able to find one.

 

@Wzor account probably a fake account. It is registered on 5th of March.
@Wzor must have been a member of mydigitallife already for years.

If Build 10036 was given to the partners, are there any partners on this forum that can leak it for us?

 

My best guesses for the new build are here below.
The reasons is Microsoft never release new builds on Mondays, Fridays and weekends since if there is a problem after new release staff won't be around.

• 12th of March - Thursday
• 17th of March - Tuesday

I expect it to be Thursday since in a tweet Gabe told that the new build will be released in 100 hours ( it was on saturday I think).
Now fingers crossed for Thursday...

 

Was an OFFICIAL MS statement ever given of the 9 skipping?

The thing that I don't understand is why not Monday? Monday is not that much different from Tuesday, just a day earlier and even farther away from the upcoming weekend.

 

Just looked thru 10 pages of Google search - saw no "official" word" from MS - just a bunch guesses and rumors.

 

Maybe they did not skip Windows 9 just renamed it Windows 8.1 then followed by Update 1 & 2.

 

Maybe someone should tweet Gabe and ask him, not that they would get a straight answer.

 

You been inside my head - was thinking the same thing - thinking the same results. A little honesty goes a long way.

"Windows Users, we screwed up with Windows 8, as show of our good faith we're going to allow you input into 10, as well as a free upgrade to it. Thanks you for your support. Why 10? - to get as far away from 8 as we can as quickly as we can"

 

Maybe that's MS being MS. Remember, they launched XBox 360 and then XBox One

 

Xbox, Xbox 360 then Xbox One!

Screwed up system if you ask me.

Prob goes back to:

"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."

Yeah like Sony Xperia Z then Z1 did they forget about the first one, or was it so bad they wanted to start again.

 

I can almost understand that, like with PlayStation then PlayStation One. Since the first one could be considered 0.

 

Very unprofessional and bad marketing, who ever decided this should be fired.
