    It's obviously just a concept, but a redesigned installer and OOBE would be nice...

    he said sometime before the end of the year, not necessarily Dec. 31st
    It sounds plausible given that Threshold is apparently scheduled for a Q1 2015 launch.

    Me and my wife are finally getting tonight the update from Windows-8 to Windows-8.1 for our Nokia Lumia 920's, which are not carrier-bound, because we bought them outright back then.

    It depends...
    If some of you remember when Longhorn leaked almost on daily basis:
    Code:
    pohrani.com/f/1C/M6/3Kg41Ual/prev.png
    This is pre-beta software and it looks quite different from XP, including icons. It is possible.

    I would like to repeat that I didn't saw actual Threshold screenshots.

    So, probably there are various branches that aren't synced yet. We shall see on Sept 30th, maybe even before :)

    If Threshold is coming out in Spring 2015, then I doubt it'd RTM in December. Maybe March.

    exactly, that also would indicate that it WZors even this year. This is what I doubt :D

    Ah, you're right, it was Spring '15, not Q1. My mistake :eek:
    Assuming Threshold will RTM about 2-3 months before release (like 8.1 and 8) February/March is more likely (depending on when exactly they'll release)

    Windows 8 Developer Preview came out in Sept 2011, RTM in Aug 2012... keep that in perspective.

    Windows 8 was on a 3 year development cycle. Windows Threshold is on 1 and a bit.

    I don't think you should compare the DP to the TP, the DP was really an Alpha intended to get devs on board for the store. Windows 8 was a major release, Threshold is more like 8.1 which was roughly a year under development.

    That's because Windows 8 is more of a transition than upgrade(as in added features). Windows 9 doesn't so much look different from Windows 8 in all ramification but Windows 8 is from Windows 7.
