    For many people August Update works fine.

    of course it does since only a small amount of machines reported malfunction, guess was only 0.02%, anyway they need to fix it up to 100%

    The general consensus, if that after the update, you don't have any problems, leave it be.

    I have no idea what MS is going to do. I will adjust accordingly.

    I concur on that statement because the August update worked just fine for me. I haven't experienced any error message since I installed it on my system.

    There is no Cortana for us Aussie's on the Windows-8.1 - Phones, so I wonder if it will be the same for us with a Desktop-Version of Cortana ?

    I posted this in Neowin, guess I might as well post in MDL too: :p
    From what I've heard, there might probably not a win8.2(or whatever), MS changed policy and would probably release the features thru WU as announced in Windows Blog, rumor is that there would be further features in Oct/Nov Updates, so it is actually Update3 or 8.2 being spreaded over the monthly updates. One of the reason for ditching 8.2 is that it needs to have a RTM build no. of 10000, however, some vol clients are still on XP with applications that could have a problem with a 5-digit build no.

    Although most people are still saying Threshold is Win9, some shifted their minds and said Threshold was originally planned for 8.2, now change to win9, some said Threshold is wWin9 and only needs 1 year for development....

    I am not a developer and knows very little about Windows development, so I couldn't really understand the concept, I could have put the idea wrong, but here's what I know and vaguely understand:

    Project Threshold is the team to co-ordinate the Windows editions for different devices, win9, win8.1, winphones, x-box, etc, because each team works on their own, it needs a team to co-ordinate things for the ecosystem.

    Project Win9(internal code-name 9) is the team to develop win9, it was started even before win8RTM,(as you might notice from some win9 guy's linkedin CV's), it has a prototype win9 build 9622 compiled about Oct 2012, and win9 builds had been compiled starting from early 2013

    if by "shifting the minds" you are talking about me, then I must say, no, this is my understandings all along. if you though otherwise, that's your misunderstoods and imaginations.

    No, @NaiveUser, it's not about you, don't be over-sensitive. :D

    Edit: this is just some of my impressions on reading thru twitter/FB/blogs/forums, naturally you are free to express your ideas, but please don't ask "are you talking about me?" - I won't respond. :p
