          Yes. Congratulations on that call. Now tell us the truth - you slipped Myerson a fiver to get him to rename it, didn't you? ;P

            Only in that it's not called Windows 9. You were asserting that it would be called something completely different ala "Vista" and that it wouldn't be based on Threshold. You also said the announcement was supposed to be on September 20 and then that it wouldn't happen today, on September 30. On top of that, you tried to shout down anyone who disagreed with you. EDIT: So, even if you get a point for it not being Windows 9, you lose half a point for it still using a number and being called Windows 10. Added up, your score is now something like: Greg: 1/2 Everyone else: 1000

                Especially since the kernel version numbers haven't made any sense in a long while. (I do wonder if changing the minor number lately is because of a lot of software which doesn't check the version number correctly.)

                                  I hinted that it is most likely going to be Windows 8.2 didn't see 10 coming. I never said the announcement was the 20th. One thing I knew for sure they were not going to call it 9.

                                      and once again... IT WAS THE MEDIA THAT CAME UP WITH THE NAME WINDOWS 9, NOT MICROSOFT. and once again... I don't think you'll listen to that statement.
