So are "your sources" confirming this? Or is it based on what you read online from PCBeta? Regardless, I am excited to try out Windows 9 in October and Windows Phone 9 on my Lumia 520 in December. Fingers crossed my phone will support it.
- Just decide on what you think. -Sorry, Lumia lower-mid-end's doesn't support wp9, don't know about the top ranges.
Open Question to all: What are the probabilities Microsoft is going to piss off the owners of their most popular Windows device (over with 12 million users) with Windows 9?
I just don't understand why everyone is so opposed to change. I'm in I.T. and the people I know in my field are the same way. Everyone seems to hate Windows 8, speculating on Windows 9, I find Windows 8.1 to be the most advanced OS that Microsoft as ever released, and am hoping that Windows 9 will be even better.
I like Windows 8 and 8.1 too. If Windows 9 is like Windows 8 plus gets start menu that would be near perfect OS.
Win8 is gr8 os its not the point its just not fit enuf for desktop users, its mostly for touch. Microsoft can keep the metro but change it a bit to work comfortingly with mouse and keyboard Im using server 2012r2 and im happy its even faster then win8 metro is reduce to minimum gonna use till arrive of win9 hopefully ms will make good steps to make it perfect
@Stannieman : that's what I've read from the PCBeta guy quite some time before, but since I am not using wp so didn't care too much about it. Anyway, just asked if 1320 could work with wp9 or not, but he's on 930, so I guess it should be OK, but MS guys could "claim" Nokia's so I am not really sure.
I am sick of Softpedia and their site. Also, I think MS will update only quad core WP8.x phones to WP9. It just makes sense because they can't afford dragging old phones and updating them, effectively decreasing new WP sales and features. Even though L920, L1020, even L1320 are capable enough to run WP9.
Ok thanks! I'll make sure to have the dev preview app installed around the time the preview should come out and we'll see how it turns out.
The PCBeta guy needed to know the 1320 specs before he could answer, I don't know about wp's or Lumia's so no idea why it was needed, maybe there were some particular specs would need to be compatible with wp9? Beats me LOL.
Lol... Don't you think they are speculating like every other site? There is no need of getting sick over what Softpedia and their site say. I would usually take what make sense to me when browsing through different sites for information regarding the upcoming Windows 9.
Are you going to run it on virtual machine when the 'technical Preview' debut? I am not going to run any beta apps on a preview OS.
I think the next-to-530(I think it's 630?) already has 1GB ram, no? Maybe it's the chipset? Like in the case of P4, the later ones has NX ......
L530, L630 and L635 have 512MB of RAM. Allegedly L730 and up will have 1GB+ of RAM. All phones in x3x series have quad core CPUs. Thing is - all WP8 phones run on Snapdragon chipsets with Krait cores. I am sure they are powerful enough to run WP9, maybe even full ARM Windows RT. However, I wouldn't be surprised if Microsoft made artificial segmentation of market so older models couldn't be updated officially.
