WZor posted something in ru-board, machine translation is terrible, maybe Super-User would post a good translation?
I can help the person with lot of rumors. Speculating though hasn't really put something new on the table for us to discuss on regarding the upcoming update. Latest news as far as I know at this moment is we are going to receive the Windows update as scheduled.
How good is this over-eulogized 'WZor' in leaking information on Windows,seriously? I am curious to know about his personality if possible.
Just forget Windows 8/8.1, because Microsoft understood it was just a test product on the way to a „bright future“. I sure, everybody dissatisfied by this, but soon after they‘ll test Windows 9, these people will forget Windows 8 and just think of it as of one of life‘s misunderstandings. Of course, Microsoft will be releasing further updates to Windows 8.1, but it will be just regular cumulative-security patches. No new features will be added, and a release of Update 3 for Windows 8.1 won‘t have any significance.
Maybe I could add a little bit: MS has actually prepared all the "win8.1 with Aug Release"ISO's, - Don't know if they would release on MSDN, some rumor says 15th, it's believe it or nots. - I heard win8 upgrade(thru Store) might go directly to win8.1 with Aug Release, if true, then abbodi & co. could expect some busy days ahead in their "hi-jack business". Yeah, when he had zukona in his team, now is "forget about it", LOL. Tks @SuperUser, "He knows nothing, just forget about it", LOL.
i am going to be honest no one should ever upgrade. it should always be a fresh install from the iso. upgrades cause issue and driver corruption which leads to the crying of millions of users saying windows 8 and 8.1 are broken lol
Does that mean the elusive 'WZor' is telling us he has tested Windows 9? Regarding the August Update, it has already be announnced on Microsoft blog it is going to be general update released through Windows update. They will include a fix for touch-pad improvement, the Miracast and Sharepoint Online related issues. If you he is telling us to expect update 3 and without any affirmative reason before the release of Windows 9 possibly he is telling us something we don't know about. Meanwhile, I have my opinion which differ from his looking at what Microsoft has presented in the past few days. Is WZor a Microsoft insider?
no need i go by years of experience which is better then a sticky. i do pc repair for a living and when i have 200 people coming to me after they updated to windows 8 from 7 they had tons of issues and drivers where broken causing major wifi and gpu issues and even cpu over heating and once i did a full wipe and fresh install all the issues where gone so i said to to them never do a windows upgrade and no issues since then. so fresh is better then upgrading anyday any pc user knows this it's common knowledge
It may sound like he is exaggerating but it doesn't nullify the fact he has some valid point in his post. I haven't done any Windows 7 to Windows 8 upgrade before because the two systems I have are pre-installed Windows 8 and Windows 8.1. I have seen people who reported having issues with drivers and have some lag in performance after upgrade.
why unlikely? In one sector I work at, I have 43 people screwing up systems and pretending they are computer literate. That is 1 of 5 sectors I "patrol" lol
I never upgrade for two reasons. 1. the transition may cause instability. 2. you have to use the clean disk utility to remove any old previous OS's which takes a while. Always Reformat.
Most of those could be explained by improper drivers and poor airflow. These things are not MS's fault with the upgrade process.
I didn't say 200 in a day over a years time and it is possible seeing how dumb the world is and what about this do we take this as truth blogs. windows. com/bloggingwindows/2014/08/05/august-updates-for-windows-8-1-and-windows-server-2012-r2/
