    My homepage is local weather and the only two I have is desktop and iexplorer the later I have no idea Y ;).

    It should boot faster with less no?

    Regards

    Where? We should be able to voice preferences that we want in future OS's here. You never know maybe they will move charms to account for big monitors and develop intelligent mouse wheel for the appz ............ like file explorer?

    Yep

    You had to do it :cap:

    Regards

    Well that's extremely rude. I mean other high-profile tech journalists with an excellent track record have confirmed everything we've exclusively reported on thus-far.

    Oh, and I've seen a lot of the stuff I've written about with my own two eyes.

    To each their own I suppose.

    Zac Bowden and Brad Sams in this thread are the only ones I think have the best info around Threshold.

    Outside this forum MJF, Tom Warren and Paul Thurott are great.

    Has any of these tech reporters exclusively interviewed a Microsoft employee about windows 9? If not its all speculation hell the logo leak is fake and all we got out of it was "Coming soon" so sick of seeing tech sites reporting that hokum. Lol I like my info legitimate. The only screenshots we got are ones of Windows 8.1 with a painted on start menu that's probably not even going to look like that :p lol sorry the lack of windows 9 news has got me lashing out haha

Im not talking about this site because this site is more then just news it has everything windows based this is the only site i deal with haha as much as i like windows 8.1 im ready to get off it just like it was with Windows 7. so come on 15th or the 30th! <3 :clap:

    It's common sense dude, everything I've written about comes from internal sources who I have spoken to and asked questions with. You don't have to believe me, but considering not many people have actually seen Threshold or heard about any of its features from people inside the walls of Microsoft, I don't think anyone has a lot of leverage to claim I'm making up "bulls**t"

    No offense to anyone, but I've got to defend my website and persona. If I write about speculation, I damn well make sure I note the article as speculation. When I write about Threshold from my own sources, I never write about speculation, I write what's fact at the current time in the development process. That doesn't mean it won't change however, people need to remember this.

    I'll let you in on a little something that might ease the minds of people who hate me because I've written about certain things. When I write about an exclusive on Threshold or whatever, I make sure that the info I'm writing about has been confirmed by multiple other internal sources who aren't usually in contact with each other. That's the best way to make sure you're writing about legitimate things, when people who don't talk to each other tell you the exact same thing. Better yet, when they show you evidence, that's when it's a done deal.

    Like I said, you don't have to believe me, but I think I've made my point clear enough. Brad Sams may also chime in, but I think I've covered everything here.

    To the dude who claimed I'm making up "bulls**t". I'm not.

    Yeah but those "Sources" could feed you bulls**t that they don't want to tell you and you wont even know about it. Not to mention you don't detail every single little build number change only the "Big Changes" so its pretty hard to be pin point accurate until sign off.

    Well, if you had read what I said you would know that I only write about information that I have received from multiple sources who aren't in contact with each other. If two or more people are telling me similar things without being in contact with one-another, and then show me evidence to prove their points, then I'm sorry but that's legitimate information. Not to mention I actually know my sources, so there's that too.

    More so, I ask about the most noticeable changes, not the bug fixes. I prefer sticking to features on the surface of Windows.

    The Software doesn't make the money its the CD-Key's and office subscriptions. Reason that Satya Nadella said himself that it wouldn't surprise him if the software gets leaked.

    Let me put my tinfoil hat on first.
    Windows phone got the best emojis. :hug2:

    Anyone see h0x0d's recent tweets? Possible connection between Midori and Windows Phone! The possible connection is tantalizing.

    New features aren't just added daily you know. But if you want the latest, stick around at WinBeta :)

    Is WinBeta officially Microsoft designated website for information? I am on the motion that we speculate than accept any information online to be the very factual one all rather the right one without having any means of verifying it. The least I can do about such website is to take the leaks with a pinch of salt until the final release. I am not doubting their ability to have well detailed information but most times they are based on speculations and references.

    Oh of course, we always add a disclaimer which says that everything written about the article is correct at that point in time, however things DO most definitely change, things are added and things are removed. You can't second guess these things, you just report as-is and see if it sticks, which a lot of it does, especially the big news.

    My point here is I don't write about crap. I actually write about real things that exist, whether those things change over the course of development, that's out of my hands.

    Has this honestly ever happened? I have a hard time remembering when it has, at least with you and the other 4 reliable sources.

    It happens ALL the time. It would be crazy if those things arent happening. Feature can be unfinished, dropped because of lack of sense/bad implementation/UI issues/foundation for future Windows versions etc.

    What a rubbish assumption, dear god...
