    Well, the Start Menu has tiles, that's different than 8.1 which just kicks you to the Metro screen.

      Silly boy! This is a build of a "feature branch" that hasn't had the "main" Windows 9 trunk merged into it yet. It doesn't even have some of the other features of "Windows 9" from other "feature branches" merged yet. So it's neither windows 9 nor windows 8, really. It's a weird creature unto itself.

      People have been going on about Windows as if the next version is already in the works, while no one is mentioning windows 9. Your opinion is only that - an opinion.

        If that is a real preview then I'm all for it. It's what Windows 8 should have been.


        Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.

            Windows RT or Windows Metro is a common language runtime that is the basis of Xbox One and Windows Phone. The possibilities are endless for Metro, the desktop does not mingle well with Windows RT and is a challenge to bring it to this level.

                  Don't be daft; like any company Microsoft is planning and working on future versions. They have their own tick-tock teams. Furthermore, if you read the history of windows and have been to previews, the version numbers and about screens can sometimes be from the current version like most companies. It isn't at all unusual to assign a high build number to proposed designs, while leaving everything else the same to minimize changes. (BTW, internally Microsoft often calls the next major version of Windows as Windows Next [or Visual Studio Next].)

                              What a company does next is what a company does next, whether is be Windows 8.2 or Windows 9, but in either case its not labeled as 9

                                  The text could appear different shades depending on the persons eyes. I know the text to be black and there are sources to confirm the text is black, but there are not sources to confirm what you said to be fact so yes it is your opinion. Also the observable facts of the screenshot say its WINDOWS 8

                                    Yes and the article clearly indicates that it's a private feature build. Plus the build # is not that of Windows 8. Observable facts. Also it is well known that this is standard procedure for Microsoft when building features for a new version. Well known facts. I stated fact. Not opinion. Get over yourself.

                                      That was standard practice until the release of windows 8.1 and considering they are not looking to force windows 8 users to purchase another operating system it is most likely going to continue on this new trend of windows 8.1 and onto windows 8.2, again its your opinion.

                                        First, your post just proves my point and verifies the facts of the present as I stated. Second, no, you are stating *your* opinion as to what the future will be.

                                        If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.-John Q. Adams
                                        You must accept one of two basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not alone in the universe. And either way, the implications are staggering.-Wernher von Braun
                                        Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.-Albert Einstein

                                          And that is also your opinion Opinion "a belief or judgment that rests on grounds insufficient to produce complete certainty." If Microsoft hadn't released Windows 8.1 then you would have certainty, but you don't so learn English.
