Do you believe Microsoft is going to rebrand Windows 10 to something else?

  1. Yes, "Windows 10" is already dated and getting long in the tooth.

  2. No chance, they are going to cling to the "Windows 10" brand for as long as they can.

    Theory: The Windows event promo image (the one at Microsoft's site...) is actually Sun Valley's default wallpaper -- it's the new Hero Image.
    Sun Valley preview builds are going to use that image as a desktop background.

    I believe that's the case because the image fits perfectly as a desktop background.

    I have a feeling we won't be seeing any new dev channel builds until the June 24 event.
    That's it: Enjoy 21390 for the next 19 days!

    Last night I accidentally did a dev channel enrollment on 19043.1023 and it actually upgraded to 21382 :D

    Nope, just an observation that it didn't go to 21390.
    My reputation isn't based on posting bs;)

    According to Zac Bowden it does look and feel similar to this. Yes.
    There will be a learning curve and I predict many users will hate this new desktop layout.
    Luckily according to him also, there will be a way to put the start button and menu back on the left side.

    This morning someone on twitter actually leaked a screenshot of the new settings app... But of course took it down a few hours later.

    Hopefully I don't get problems sharing this image I found on Reddit, which should be the same image that was on the tweet.

    They are going to try to force their touch screen interface on us again.
