yea also its will "tell" windows 8.1 to upgrade to 8.2 without much trouble, like getting renew drivers win9 is like new platform
I have liked your post. Reminds me of Beavis and Butt-Head when Butt-Head has his sugar / caffeine overdose in the bus and is talking I think is psychologically very important how they will name it. Anything associated with 8 means no progress (psychologically). But by naming it 9 it could break the good / crap / good / crap rhythm by sticking to crap.
...and it will be also very important for money. If they will name it W8-2, everybody will want it for free. But for W9 they will calmly pay. Remember: "Spice must flow." )
Is W8 was kind of okay, W8.1 was better, W9 is supposed to be even better. Does that mean that W98 better than all of them? After all, 98 is a bigger number.
Sure you mean Butt-Head and not Beavis? Not remembering the episode right now, but sugar overdose sounds more like Beavis - I AM THE GREAT CORNHOLIO!
That's correct, but didn't Sinofsky & Co. refer to it as Windows 8 throughout the BUILD keynote and sessions? The build they released that day was labelled as Windows Developer Preview, but it sounded like they already made a decision on the name back then. What's in a name anyways? Seriously, that's the least thing I care about in the upcoming release.
Windows 8 was the codename for Windows 8, which is why they continued to reference it as such. Threshold is the codename for Windows 9, which means they might call it Threshold on stage. Who knows. Considering inside MS they all reference it as Windows 9, they could just call it that and say it's a placeholder name until they figure something out. That, or they just reference it as the Windows Technical Preview.
Windows 8.1 actually is codenamed 'Blue' and I really don't know if we are going to see Threshold as an inclusive word in the upcoming Technical Preview build. The fact that nobody talks about that in the present leaks makes one to think otherwise.
You are correct! I mean to say Windows 8.1(I left out .1 during the typing of my previous comment) is codenamed 'Blue'. Windows 8 is codename 'Win8'.
I really do not think that M$ will try and RELEASE (Preview or what ever the name is on a TUESDAY.) Yesterday i found almost 50% of the "TEST Sites" were down for Maintenance... never checked today... but with M$ Firing folks who know when the "junk" will be released for Trial.
