to make that story short finally: there is no such official beta stuff any more and even a pic which you had or never had or whatsoever been canceled under disclaimer matter. Maddog didn't show anything but BS blabla since he announced something with a big mouth. All future posts of him only arrive here with a smile on my face. Period
Update 2, or "August Update", as I have seen it referred to on several sites, seems to be a "minor" update to Windows 8.1. In the words of Bill Shakespear, I think suspect when all is said and done it will end up being "Much A Do About Nothing"
exactly, this is my understanding as well. No big deal but simply an update. It will be a big one but no need to overjoy it. It'll be no W9
Since Windows 8.1 Update 2 will NOT have a new start menu as planned earlier, then what is it that it brings that we have a 157 page thread eagerly waiting for? what's so special about it?
its got a new number, its cool its out there its man oh man! Welcome to Microsoft, how might you serve us..
Did not say it was on MS Partner Program. I said it was from MSDN. Any how there is no start menu in this build if anyone wants to know and as far as I have found with the very little I have check since I do work and dont play with my PC's until the end of my day I have found very little differance between update 1 and update 2. Will post later tonight what I have found.
no, not that π again, I hated it during study because I could not bring that endless number into my limited memory (in the 60ies)
To add one or more things to what you've said, it is clear this thread is mainly about Windows 9. The updates leading to it has to be discussed in other to have better understanding of what to expect.
We used to see it as imaginary number and just accept it as 22/7 rather than in decimal point in primary school.
Some of us need good information on this update 2. I don't think explanation without straight forwardness is helping matter, looking at what you have presented to us so far. I for one would be very glad to be abreast of the update 2 from somebody I can take as a trusted source in a on-line community like this one. Trust really matters in this case but not expedient. I think you need to communicated to us better what your intention is. Your initial posts were very convincing. Although, I still have my doubts on how the Windows 8.1 update 2 is going to look like from information I have collated around the webs there still need to communicate with people who have the same interest MDL.
