Fight has a negative connotation. (""take part in a violent struggle involving the exchange of physical blows or the use of weapons" Thank you Bing FTW) I prefer the phrase peaceful discussion especially since violence was not involved. Yes Murphy. I'm sorry I failed. The mob mentality runs strong within me. I've never been good with jokes so moving on... I'm betting there won't be a leak until WinFuture squeezes all the views possible from the videos spread out once a day. By the time they finish doing that it will be September 30 and Microsoft won't care anymore.
Nah, I simply had nothing that I could post lately, and I don't care much about banning thing, Jesthon had been banned countless times, but unfortunately he's got a faithful Paul to expose him every time he registers. Don't worry about that, when an ISO comes out(whether a leak or MS release), MDL would have a new win9 forum. I could just hope that they won't name it as "Windows Threshold" like the stupid WinClub.pl. Add: MS could change anything they have released, live example: Aug. Update.
a little bit clarification here: I actually thinks vb4112 is a valuable source, its rare that an (anonymous) MS employee would talk publicly about not-released infomation. although we should keep in mind that he is not in the core team and may not be able to get some information/bits, so if he says yes, that most likely is true, but if he says no, thats not neccessarily accurate, it just means he doesn't know. actually vb4112's own statements are generally reasonable and conservative, if translated accurately. but some guy took every word out of vb4112's mouth as the oracle from God and the only truth, then use it to dispute other (more) valuable sources, then the situation become ridiculous.
Tks @NaiveUser, at least we reach something in common, and seems you are now accepting his FB list is "most likely is true". No comment on your last statement, it's your personal thought and is none of my business.
Looks that way. Wait until the world finds out these two combatants are a real life same-sex couple living in Norway and these posts are their version of a "lovers spat".
Wonder if a Windows 8.1 MCE key will work on this. Thinking upgrading within windows then nicking the tokens and stuff as with Windows 8 and make a Windows 9 ISO. Just like we did with Windows 8 - 8.1 We installed Windows 8 activated grabbed the tokens after WMC was installed, Then we made the Windows 8.1 with MCE ISO and inserted our tokens/key/certs into it from the activated Windows 8 MCE install.
It won't work like that...the MCE keys were upgrade keys only & they were for Windows 8/8.1....If they allowed Win 8 keys to activate Windows 9 then where's the profit for them? it worked on 8.1 coz it was just an update to 8 but, this is the next version of Windows & they would never allow that.
I am to understand the activation system will be changing too. I am curious how far and what they change, if in fact they do change the activation system.
Was it not confirmed Windows 9 was a "free upgrade" guessing there will also be a Windows 9 with WMC also. So just installing Windows 9 as an update on a Windows 8.1 with WMC should produce an activated Windows 9 with WMC. Or even using a premade Windows 9 with WMC ISO and using the WMC key from Windows 8 / 8.1 then phone activation would work for fresh install. They will still make cash, people will buy Windows 9 instead of Windows 8/8.1 (the ones currently on Windows 7 and hanging in + new pc users and pc's being built) Also they would make a bunch from the store / bing.
Any next version of Windows is mentioned as Windows Vnext isn't it? What I meant to say was that any next version of Windows usually gets leaked some days/weeks after RTM.... I think the "free upgrade" means that you must have a retail key for Windows 7/8 in order to get Windows 9 for free (if this offer exists at all)....the WMC keys were upgrade only keys. You have to activate Windows 8 with a retail key/KMS before you can activate the WMC key remember?
As long no-one knows what SKUs next Windows will bring it's not worth to speculate. And i highly assume it will come with new keys and changed activation process. On Win 8 and 8.x ProfessionalWMC SKU used same Activation-ID that's why the same keys could be used .
