nah was talking about office

shouldn't it RTM close to Windows 8 ? or else WinRT would be officeless at launch(wouldn't imagine they would ship beta software with production machine)

Office RT may already be deemed final by the time Windows RT RTMs. It has far less applications to deal with.

Or they'll release Windows RT with the beta and update it via Windows Update or something. Curious to see which route they'll take.

windows RT and office 2013 will rtm in a few months, windows rt was supposed to launch at same time but it is complex. 3 weeks till win8 rtm, i'm guessing it will leak 1-2 weeks later as oem's usually get it before technet/msdn. I'll wait until there is a 1-click tool to disable metro for win8 desktop.

At ?#wpc? the Windows 8 RTM timeframe was disclosed. I'm happy to announce that ?#VS2012? will RTM in early August with Windows.

off topic but nice to know

Thanks

They skipped Office 13 and went straight to 14, so why would they release Office 2013? For that matter, you'd expect Server 2013, but it's Server 2012.

There's internal version numbers and then external dates for the names, aka 2007 and 2010. Office 2007 is version 12.x and 2010 is version 14. They skipped 13 though cuz it's a bad number heh. So Office 2013 is version 15. Anyways, office has always used the date in the release name and not the version number as far back as Office 97 that I can remember.

Yep, but if they skipped an internal version number, they'll definitely skip it for external purposes. If it's shipping in 2013 they might just call it Office 2014.

The Office programming team decided to skip 13; the marketing team decided to use 2013. Naming the release after a year other than the one it's released would be confusing and unprofessional.

I think skipping "13" in the first place is dumb enough.

WZOR had posted about a build 9200: 9200.16384.120725-1247

His explanation(or rather, guess) is that, this is a win9 prototype, but my idea is : this just doesn't make good sense.

Google translate:

Well, actually it is not a joke, and not "garbage", began work on Windows 9, it means that work on Windows 8 is completed and the final RTM build has appeared!, well, this is the first build of Windows 9: 9200.16384.120725-1247

There could be another possibility: build 8888 could be just a smoke screen, the actual win8RTM will be build 9200, because it conforms with the vista/win7 numerology:

1. It is a multiple of 100 and 16

2. It also has a minor build number(16384 atm).

I guess we just have to wait for the final RTM sign-off, then we'll know for sure if is 8888 or 9200. :o

    • I am not a US citizen nor a Trump fan. Respect to both left and right. But I will, for the sake of fun, predict something for my own. There will come a day when the US and China will collide like titans ( over Taiwan or anything else ). Then, on that day, some people in this comment section will realize how good an idea it was to become independent in areas like that. ( Or atleast try )
    • Microsoft Edge gets tons of security features, including AI model that can see your screen by Usama Jawad Microsoft Edge may not be the most popular browser out there, but it does receive quite frequent updates that sometimes bring surprising new features and axe others that are not as popular. Now, Microsoft has detailed some of the new security enhancements that it has introduced in Edge for Business, typically used by commercial customers. Microsoft has emphasized that security features are baked into Edge for Business and offer native integration with security and governance tools like Defender and Purview. Browser sessions are governed by default on managed devices but can also be governed through dedicated work profiles on unmanaged devices. An important aspect in this area is controlling the use of shadow AI. We have talked about this before, but it essentially restricts employees from using unsanctioned AI apps through data loss prevention (DLP) policies, with Edge redirecting them to trusted AI services like Microsoft 365 Copilot. This feature, available as a pay-as-you-go (PAYG) license, ensures that confidential data never exits AI boundaries set by your organization in Purview. Additionally, Microsoft also has strong DLP policies for contractors. Contractors leveraging a Entra ID-joined work profile provisioned by their contracting company on a device managed by their actual employer can be restricted from downloading files locally. In such scenarios, the file is saved on the contracting firm's OneDrive rather than being downloaded locally. Another useful Edge security feature disallows copying and pasting from unmanaged locations and apps. Similarly, DLP policies can be configured at a granular level to restrict screenshots or downloading of files from certain locations. In the same vein, IT admins can block the installation of extensions, hosted apps, themes and scripts, and control if users can install extensions from external locations. They can also enable the installation of specific extensions and allow users to request access to certain extensions, so that they can be managed on a case-by-case basis. Finally, Edge for Business now has an on-device AI model that uses computer vision to see what's on your screen and block potentially malicious content immediately. This does not rely on site reputation, as it simply monitors what is being displayed on your screen, which means that it is effective against malicious content that takes over your screen and employs scareware tactics. Since this is an on-device AI model, it does use your system's resources, so it's enabled by default only on devices with at least 2GB of RAM and four CPU cores. You can find more details in the Microsoft Mechanics video here.
    • Could you come up with a slightly less depressing background for Tux instead of that gray gradient? Doesn't have to be cheerful, just less of a downer...
    • Linux 7.2's first release candidate gets off to a good start by Paul Hill Credit: Larry Ewing It has been a few weeks since the release of Linux 7.1, and in that time, the Linux 7.2 merge window has been open, where developers can submit their features and patches ready for the upcoming release. That window is now shut, and the release candidate phase has begun so that new features can be tested and further fixes applied. According to the founder of Linux, Linus Torvalds, this week’s release candidate looks “reasonably normal”. Although we are super early in the release candidates, this is a good sign as it makes it more likely that an eighth release candidate will not be needed. Torvalds even mentioned that the update’s stats are only larger than they really are because there was another AMD header drop with a third of the patch just being AMD GPU register definitions, which aren’t big changes but make the code contributed look larger overall. In addition to this, he noted that just over half the patch is drivers, even when excluding the AMD register dump. The rest of the changes are spread out over architecture updates, tooling, documentation, and core kernel updates. In the next week, Torvalds says that he will be chilling out, taking the week “mostly off”. Despite this, he will be reading emails and keeping up with things, so if he is slow responding, now you know why. He said he is hoping for a calm week, but we will just have to see if the second release candidate is actually like that. We should expect seven or eight release candidates before Linux 7.2 is released, so expect it around the end of August. If you missed it a few weeks ago, be sure to check out our coverage of Linux 7.1's release.
    • Ridiculous claim that the labor cost difference of $6000 annually would increase cost per phone by $200. The employees produce 3 phones per month or what?
