It leads to Evaluation Center and only Windows 8.1 Enterprise is on the list under Windows. That means it leads to Windows 8.1
you seems to not understand what happens when a link get's redirected ok as the article i linked states it did lead to windows 9 download but later as said in the comments was removed due to going up early
I am dumbfounded to see how they turn the codename, Threshold, into the name we were expecting it to be(Windows 9). The fact that it is even abbreviated as 'Windows TH' as though it would make the difference from previous Windows 8 and 8.1 is challenging to me. That is a poor nomenclature from them though. No matter what we have to go with Windows TH from this moment on.
There's still no confirmed info regarding the name ... let's wait for tuesday to see with what name MS will come up . Then the ranting can begin, no need to initialize it now.
I quite agree with you. Not that I am pissed off by it. The notion that it comes up in Microsoft Technet means that could as well be the plan within the developers to name it Windows TH.
Or ThresHold Though personally I think that MS is just joking around, as the acronym for this would be WTH.
A Neowin commenter also posted these links and screenshot I would post them but theres an annoying block on links so I'll just post this obfuscated URL neowin/news/microsoft-to-launch-windows-insider-program-for-next-version-of-windows#comment-2723313 imgur/4CR6co7.png Screenshot of the Technet page
Microsoft wouldn't, but others may. I usually abbreviate Windows to "Win", but I see people just using "W" from time to time (like W7 or W8)
Yea, but we're not talking about what people pet name the OS, we're talking about the next official name of Windows
Imagine every user got its own special build of ntoskrnl.exe embedded in that ISO (or WIM) which checks for a hardware hash (hard-coded in the executable) or other unique system parameter to match. And maybe not just the kernel but a bunch of other files. An even worse scenario: The WIM file you get is encrypted, and the key is, for example, the MAC address of your WiFi/network adapter. That would be evil in WimBoot scenarios. The boot routine couldn't decrypt that WIM on another PC unless you tampered with its MAC. Of course you could repack that WIM once it's decrypted, but what if the bootloader requires an encrypted WIM, and encrypting WIM files is not possible with DISM or something but only by Microsoft (they own the private key)?
The plan is the Windows Technical Preview will be released to the public after the press event on 30th September in San Francisco. We are just two days away and the download link is almost up for people to download it. My fear is that link is going to be overcrowded on the release date. Something needs to be down to provide alternate download. However, I can be patient to evaluate the product whenever it is possible for me to do so.
looking over the preview, a link goes to winpreview2014 [h=2]"Get support[/h]Find solutions to common issues related to setup and installation, or get help with a specific problem. (url removed because of not enough posts.)" looks like winpreview 2014 might be the real name currently no threads .
I wouldn't be concerned so much about that "Windows TH" header. Even if it's legit, it doesn't mean it will be final name for the thing. It's been like that in the Longhorn days when everything was called "Longhorn Developer Center" on MSDN, Longhorn XYZ... and so on. ... Windows TH... Windows To Hell?
Gonna be really cool when they unveil the new name Tuesday and we all see iOS 9 "i" being the ninth letter of the alphabet. ETA: I don't usually delve into the future and make predictions, but my old, creaky, arthritic, no-sex getting, ice cream loving, bones are telling me we'll be playing with the Tech Preview by Tuesday evening....just saying...read signature before commenting. Thank you for your support.
