    And the question that still hasn't been answered is, does it really matter? Does the name that is commonly used to refer to a product that will be released in the future really matter to anyone until it's actually released?

    When it came to build in March of this year, the Windows 9 name consumed the news stories and what actually happened at build didn't matter.

      If you only concern yourself with Weven, why try to bring my opinion down?

        Most other releases haven't been seen as a mockery of the current operating system other then Vista.

            Looks Like I was wrong. http://www.winbeta.org/news/microsoft-publicly-confirms-windows-9-coming-soon No wait the first paragraph ends with "so does this mean Microsoft has officially confirmed the name "Windows 9"? Not necessarily." And what event?

              Excuse Me! The operating system is named WINDOWS 7! Using the correct/official name for an operating system is the most important thing in the world! ... Apparently.

                        I say "Threshold, Threshold, Threshold, I am a name not a number!" On the Threshold of a Dream perhaps? When it's launched, I'll write in my Dear Diary on that Lazy Day "Lovely To See You Windows 9, but you need Send Me No Wine, To Share Our Love". In The Beginning, Microsoft missed their deadlines repeatedly, until we'd say "Never Comes The Day when the next version will be out". Are You Sitting Comfortably because September 30th will soon be here but, Have You Heard that it might not happen then? I hope that you can find it So Deep Within You to forgive all the speculation. The Voyage will soon be at an end and The Dream version of Windows will be upon us.

                            They were here a couple of years back and my wife went to see them. Hayward and Lodge's voices were as good as ever. A trip back to better, simpler times < sigh />

                                    ... of course, this has me in a reverie. I met a wonderful woman the week before her 18th birthday and gave her that album. Somewhat short-sited of me, as that meant we ended up with two copies. Saturday week that meeting will have been exactly 39 years ago and we've been married for over 36 of them.

                                      Yes and yes, sorry forgot about ME. XP is a great example, because I too avoided it until I gave it a chance.

                                          ... of course, this has me in a reverie. I met a wonderful woman the week before her 18th birthday and gave her that album. Somewhat short-sited of me, as that meant we ended up with two copies. Saturday week that meeting will have been exactly 39 years ago and we've been married for over 36 of them.

                                          Life is like a s**t sandwich; the more bread you have, the less s**t you eat.

                                          Congrats, in this day and age that is a rarity. With vinyl it's not a bad thing to have 2 copies, I've wore out so many that if I had the money I've spent on LP's I'd be well off.

Trying to understand the behavior of some people is like trying to smell the color 9. I'm not crazy, my reality is just different than yours!
