    http://www.infoworld.com/print/249057 5th paragraph "Foley is very careful to maintain a semantic distance between "Threshold" and "Windows 9." Many people think the terms are synonymous, but longtime Chinese leaker Faikee continues to maintain that they are two separate products, possibly headed in different directions."

      Windows Threshold is not Windows 9, is my original story, and as far as I was aware Windows 9 did not exist, and except for a potential leak that could be fake - it still doesn't exist.

        Problem is that you are an ignorant fool who knows very little. You are like the person who, when others are admiring a sunset, snidely remarks that "the sun never sets" and then keeps repeating it ad nauseam. Threshold is Microsoft's internal code name for the next version of Windows, whatever it may be called commercially. This is an R&D project, so some feature will be implemented early while others will be dropped entirely, perhaps permanently or maybe pushed off to a service pack or next major release. You screaming that this isn't so just makes you an ignorant fool. Then, like most ignorant fools, when you are proven wrong, you change your argument or claim that you never said something you clearly said. Worse comes to worse, you simply deny reality; you look at the sun and claim it's the moon.

          So what's happening is that, because Windows isn't making a Windows 9, China is.

              The way China has been going on about Windows 8 and demanding source code, Windows 9 could be china's version.

                You have it in reverse. Officially it has not been declared as such commercially, whatever its going to be - it does not yet exist. Also the proof is not out yet. So by going on about Windows 9 when the product does not yet exist makes you... the one saying the sun never sets. If I'm wrong, then I am wrong. If you are wrong, you went on like an asshole for no reason, what then? The last time I checked if you had to resort to using insults to win an argument, you are out of valid facts to work off of.

                    FYI the above story is "longtime Chinese leaker Faikee"'s story which I am using to back up my story that threshold is not Windows 9. You can't twist things to the way you want.

                        I don't care to have your respect. You take every angle you can to attack me, you're an act away from being an actual criminal.

                            Any act defined under actus rea. Your mens rea qualifies as criminal.

                              So you are accusing me of being capable of being a criminal - despite no actual evidence - and therefore classing me as a criminal. Interesting premise... "Guilty, regardless of proof." I believe the trash media use this method especially for celebrities! By the way, I did a degree in Law before moving up to Computer Science so your Latin legalisms do not impress me.

                                In order to be guilty; both Actus reas and mens rea have to be satisfied. Mens rea is a mind set. Technically there are a few situations that don't require the act to happen, such as in attempted murder or conspiracy to commit murder, which I am not accusing you of.

                                  Actually the criminal act in these cases are the attempt to commit murder and the conspiracy to commit murder respectively so the "act" (which is not the murder itself) still has to happen. What you are mixing up is what is the actual "act" under prosecution.

                                    Let's be really clear about why this foreign nation is demanding the Windows source code, shall we? Europe and the rest of the world are actually glad that the Chinese are taking the lead on kicking the US's spying arse.

                                      Weren't they demanding the source code before the NSA scandal? I am under the impression China wants the source code so they can reverse engineer it.

                                        If they wanted to reverse engineer it, they wouldn't want the source code.

                                          Technically there are a few situations that don't require the act to happen, such as in attempted murder or conspiracy to commit murder,

                                          Actually the criminal act in these cases are the attempt to commit murder and the conspiracy to commit murder respectively so the "act" (which is not the murder itself) still has to happen. What you are mixing up is what is the actual "act" under prosecution.

                                          Conspiracy to commit a theft is not a crime, it's a preparation of the crime before the act of importance, in English it is an action someone can do, but it is not an act that can make someone guilty without the acts leading to murder. Attempted murder is a bad I see now, because an attempted robbery is still a robbery, the second crime that fits in the category is terrorism sorry.
