    In other words,

    Lie = Screenshot from Microsoft's site for Windows Technical Preview download that looks legitimate.
    Since there's no preview till November, the shot is false.

    Instead:
    Truth = Screenshot from pcbeta forums which is merely something someone commented, but only is posted here as evidence(?) for prior fore tellings since we must have short memories.

    I choose to believe the Truth section - Mainly because I want to start testing Drivers on 9 to see what I need to fix - Win8 TP was completely broken on the video driver side.

    Not sure how that has anything to do with a new start menu for Windows 8 via an update 2 as a fellow poster here wrote (Actually now that I think about it, we already had an update 2 which was "August update", so if there is another update to Windows 8 it would be update 3). Speaking of credibility HmHmHm...

    so...

    no live streaming at all by ms...
    no isos or something leaked...
    not anything new about the name (we've seen it'll be just "windows 9" on the spacing lines pic, tho)

    but cmon, are they not streaming it live? srsly? i've waited to much for this to come, to solve 8's, 8.x's problems and they aren't streaming it and i'll have to read some media to understand some or so what's going on?

    better it be a free update from 8.x to 9...

    in other case i won't upgrade or buy 'till its support it's completely off.

    looks "confirmed" in Indonesia, yet I cannot see anything (might be missing it) that leads to Indonesia MS official site saying so. Still unconfirmed for me until Redmond says one way or another. But thats me lol

    If you're going to San Francisco
    Be sure to wear some windows in your hair
    If you're going to San Francisco
    You're gonna meet some microsoft people there
    For those who come to San Francisco
    9/30 will be a love-in there
    In the streets of San Francisco
    microsoft people with windows in their hair
    All across the nation, such a strange vibration
    People in motion
    There's a whole generation with a new explanation
    People in motion, people in motion
    For those who come to San Francisco
    Be sure to wear some windows in their hair
    If you come to San Francisco
    9/30 will be a love-in there
    If you come to San Francisco
    9/30 will be a loving day

    That is very correct. I am among those who deliberate on the topic with my little understanding of how DirectX works in different versions of Windows. One of those people who have better idea explains the differences and the need not to worry about the DirectX 12's compatibility that much. He talks about the two types of DirectX succinctly, which I am only going to state without explanations.They are the DirectX Core and the DirectX Extension.

    If the preview becomes available tomorrow, I see see no point in downloading it then. I will wait a day or so. I can only see slow download speeds because of high traffic on Microsoft's servers.
