I wouldn't put too much trust in him anymore as he isn't really an insider anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That seems to contradict what you said about Update 3 and Windows 9 being two distinct releases. They're two potential names for the same release.

He was refering to the rumor that "win9 will be launched in April 2015"(probably with some sarcasm), Windows 9 is a new Windows version, not a Update. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It honestly sounds as if Windows.vNext is going to be more with Windows 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George P Global Moderator Posted June 24, 2014 Global Moderator Share Posted June 24, 2014 The 2nd update must not be anything user facing because if the rumors are true and it's coming soon then we'd have had more details by now. I'm guessing bug fixes, optimizations and API changes/additions for store apps. MS just added a "missing APIs" UserVoice site for developers to vote on APIs they want to see in the future for Store apps, so I think that'll be what we see in the next update compared to new features.

No, the first official news about Update 1 only showed up a couple of weeks in advance. With Microsofts new policy when it comes to requesting builds inside the company, it's just logical that we haven't seen anything yet. It's the first time that there aren't any leakers for the software. This time, we realy will have to wait for Microsoft to give us details before we know what's in it.

I still stand by my opinion. You'll get a Update 2 this year with minimal changes, myabe just maybe the mini start Menu and that's it. Windows 9 next year :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Official news yes, but we knew about update 1 changes long before MS talked about it. I'm sure they're way better at stopping leaks, people are probably scared after what happened to the Windows 8 leaker who got jail time etc. Still, even those in the "know" have very little info about this. In my opinion I still say it's small compared to update 1 IF it is true and we do get a update 2. I think they're only looking at fixes and API related updates.

There is a "feature pack" in Update2, don't know the details. As for dates, apart from possible leak(s), what I heard is : no chance in July, (very) slim chance in Aug, maybe in Sept. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
