    So its not a good way to check if Windows ISOs have been tampered? Because I always try to check any downloaded ISOs with the MD5 and SHA1 from MSDN.

    Not sure what point you're trying to prove, but OEMs don't get the SDK, it's for internal use only, it's kept in a high security facility in Redmond (no joke)

    I am talking about Microsoft possibly knowing who owns the original image before it's tampered with. The hash and MD5 are good ways to find out if the ISO file has been tampered with but not knowing the original owner.

    Now I imagine it to be much like the Alien Area 51 Hangar from Independence Day. Thank you BAV0 ; )

    I figured they centered the word "Windows" and then put the logo next to it. Either that or the beamer was pointed off the screen :p

    I think it would be a mistake for them to call it anything other than Windows 9, they dropped the daft names after Vista, doubt they'd want to return to something that reminds people of major fail

    Using years like 95, 98, 2000 leaves them open to their OS becoming old before it's time, Windows 2015 would seem old in 2016

    Sticking to a numbering scheme is imo the best option

    And if that's not the only identifier buried somewhere in the files?
    Would you be willing to lose your job and potentially go to jail over that?

    Don't see the big fuss MS are making over Windows leaks, never did any harm to Windows 7 and I still literally have a huge draw full of DVDs of all of those

    My net wasn't so good back then, and leaks were happening so regularly and so fast that I hadn't finished downloading the last one by the time the next one arrived

    Windows 7, one of the best selling Windows OSs ever - one of the most leaked OSs ever - wheres the problem?

    This self-induced desire for Windows 9 leaks is tantamount to lack of something thereof or running out of patience by those who couldn't wait any longer as the press event date inches closer than ever before. That is after famous Wzor failed to make correct prediction below what is expected of him.He is known to divulge important information about Windows before it is released in the past not this time around. Instead of having 'leaks hyperventilation syndrome', as I would love to call it at this point in time, we can make use of the precious time to discuss on what changes we would like Microsoft to make to the upcoming Windows operating system.

    My desire is to see Windows comes up with a user-friendly User Interface(modern UI) that is better than the one we have in Windows 8 or Windows 8.1, although,that is what Microsoft promised in the upcoming Windows. I have seen a concept among many that I so much wanted but it is far from reality of what we have in the leaked Windows 9 Technical Preview build images posted online without any ISO link. I would also like my Windows UI to be more flexible as possible and grant me the freedom to tweak it the way I want. Rather than having tiles there should be alternative ways to tweak it into different shapes by choosing from different shapes offered by the MS for better eye candy. In essence, I admire Windows 9 aesthetic look than what we have in old Windows XP and Windows 7.

    "Hey Mary-Jo, remember that time we got drunk and wrote 'Windows X' on a napkin" -"good times!" :D

    But seriously, there's a big difference between tastings beers and being an alcoholic, I would know, I'm a Belgian ;) (I do the former btw)
