lmfao, don't drag me into this turmoil, 10 pages of debate over a stupid screen-shot where nobody has the build to prove it real/fake? 9788 is a "very early build", have you seen MS officially brag over a project in early stage? So don't expect too much even if Washington should become ground zero(quoting Paul).
That's just dumb. Why would someone want to makeup their own taskbar when that's how it appears anyways in the current version?
roflmao, you my friend, started this turmoil about 91 pages back. Glad you're back! - I'll order some pizza while you sort this mess.
I vote the screenshot is real. That's not the best Start Menu anyone can come up with. Why would Microsoft want to use that in Windows 9? (If that's all Microsoft got up its sleeve for 9, I'd be rather disappointed). The smart move would be to have that in 8.1 Update 2, gauge the market's reaction, then make a better start menu in 9!
LOL, I only started with a general plan schedule, btw, I am not updating/editing the OP so you guys could verify it sometime around 2015 Sept, when win9 and win8.2(Threshold), and hopefully win365 facts are all known. No more pizza, too much chips+beer over Argintina vs Germany, while you guys were talking over the stupid screen-shot, now maybe some really strong black coffee. Forget about it, even if it was a real deal(which many people doubts), it was meant to be a private share among a dozen of people, with this publicity, the guy should have chickened out.
@FaiKee - general plan schedule, love that! Now all sorts come out of the woodworks... I gave up when even the inconsistency MrMagic noticed was not enough to convince people. - Good spot, I missed that one. Btw, some of us are able to multitask.
I mentioned how to do that fake screenshot so people wouldn't be fooled by them, not so the entire internet would post fakes. Gawd, what have I done?
Why did the ed2k link even exist? It's pointless to post one unless you mention what server the uploader is sitting on. For all we know it could've been a hard-to-access Chinese server.
