he is obviously refering to Threshold when he talking about Windows 9, including yourself when you asking about the preview next month in th reply. p.s. I hope you can credit my name instead of 'ghost man from MDL' when you quoting my discoveries, thanks. btw, Interactive Tiles was one of my discoveries too.
I decided to do nothing until MS deploys new fixed updates. When these new fixes arrive, I will run'em on one machine first and see what happens. If this goes fine, other rigs get updated as well. If that one machine causes problems during new update, I will uninstall these bad updates in question and install only new ones. Please do not blame me if you encounter problems like doing the same as I do but currently I cannot see any malfunction so I let it sit as is.
I am doing the same. I currently have no issues on any of my systems - therefore, I will leave the updates in place.
all august updates here and going fine, samsung notebook downloaded and installed the rest via windows update installed this two from a download (faster) cheers,
The interactive tiles were a MS Research project that Naiveuser discovered, it got pulled soon after. So yes, there is a point in saying who discovered it. As for the September preview, I'm sure something will be previewed as both Brad and MJF independently reported it. The only question is what exactly. Threshold? Windows 9? Windows 365?
Just to clarify on this, what I know is that the watermark on current builds has changed to include the word 'Preview' and no longer references Windows 8...other than that, I was told a preview would be 'soon' but no hard timeline given.
Tks Brad, I remember in win8 times, In May 2011 Canouna mentioned "a new name in the win8 builds", then in June an OEM guy posted screen-shot of "Windows Developer Preview" in PCBeta, later in Sept The WPD was released(which came as a surprise since MS didn't say anything prior to it) - that was the time-line for WDP.
the 'best' (not really good though) opportunity I can think of for Microsoft to release Threshold technology preview is before or at the TechEd Europe conference.
Things I have learned here in the last month: 1. a lot of info is BS 2. a lot of info is not BS 3. if one's life depends on being the 1st to leak/discover/report/whatever info, one should seek psychiatric help 4. if one feels the need to belittle others in order to feel good about themselves, one should seek psychiatric help 5. if one's life depends on whether a change to an OS is called an update, an upgrade, a service pack, or an EIEIO, one really needs to get a sex life that involves another being. 6. a sense of humor is more important than a sense of what the next version of Windows will be named. I might have learned other stuff, if I did, I for got it already From my point of view, Murphy78 and PaulDesmond have made the most USEFUL contributions to MDL recently. NO offense to anybody else's contributions.
