    I don't think people are still using XP because they don't know how to upgrade, I suspect it is because they don't want/can't afford to.

    While they might have started compiling ARM builds, but an ARM preview will only be released somewhere next year according to MJF.

    And for the last time, Alex Kibkalo wasn't WZOR's source!! He has dropped the ball on several occasions lately, but it has nothing to do with Kibkalo. (also, Kibkalo is out of jail already)

    Sorry that I have to quote you. I am interested in knowing much about this information regarding the WZor's leak source. However, Alex Kibkalo leak was given to the French leak not a Russian(WZor). Can you tell me a little about your understanding of how this Alex's case is related to WZor's leak source?

    It is not related at all. Both have nothing to do with each other

    It was in reply to this:
    That rumor was about Kibkalo and WZOR, but they really have no connection at all, so the quote above is wrong. ;)

    I'm not positive about Surface 3 machines but don't they have ARM and i5/i7 processors like they made in model 2 versions?

    The Surface Pro 3 is not an ARM device and they haven't yet released a Surface 3, which would be an ARM device...

    thanks BAV0, I didn't know that they only make pro version atm. Since I have a 2pro I thought they also doing the same different models on 3 as well. Perhaps they issue an ARM based model 3 when W9 shows up next year

    Does that mean surface 3 would be released along with threshold preview ?

    I guess Paul is right, MJF pointed out that there won't be an RT Technical Preview in Spetember, the RT preview will be released somewhere next year. Threshold will align Windows RT and Windows Phone, so I expect a new Surface running Threshold once it's released.

    I can see that even Softpedia news is still based on speculative information by making references to WZor and Mary Jo Foley of Zdnet. I don't think anybody can guarantee at this stage that Windows 9 is going to be absolutely free for Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 users. If there is anything to go by, as regard this rumor, Windows XP users should be the ones Microsoft needs to bring along into the new Windows 9 fold, as they are the people not willing to make a change. They are also the largest Windows Desktop users.
