this is a multi-billion dollar company dealing with huge external market factors. It's never going to be that simple, is it?

Anyone flipping out on this quote needs to note that it is sarcasm. There is no way this was meant to be taken seriously, thus the abundance of x's

He is pointing out how absurd it is that people are claiming M2 has been finalized and they're using the same number of x's in their supposed build string

M2 is not finalized, the M2 just started in december!

so , they would churn out another 60 something builds build till then ?

if that so , we won't hear anything untail winHEC '11 or/and PDC '11 as beta quality (even that events are scheduled)

Not for me, any build are welcome!

If this post is true, then apparently the build Microsoft showed at CES 2011 is an old one since it is Build 7867. I wouldn't be surprised since it's probably more stable than the cutting edge builds.

Maybe with UI bits all over the place too. They're definitely trying to keep anything other than ARM compatibility under wraps for now. At least until a newer build leaks.

Coming from someone who knows about how the builds work. Tsk Tsk Tsk. LoL

That's what I was saying

But people are saying that M2 is finalized, and are taking the info the wrong way.

I know this probably doesn't mean anything (User Agent Strings can be spoofed), but there have been multiple sightings of Internet Explorer 9 on Windows NT 6.2 in the wild. Keep an eye out for "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 9.0; Windows NT 6.2; Trident/5.0)" and "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 9.0; Windows NT 6.2; WOW64; Trident/5.0)" or similar NT 6.2 strings in the coming days/weeks.

Good point. I hadn't thought of that . Though the language they used at CES when referring to the build being Windows 8 but with Windows 7 UI gives me a hint that they have something big planned for the UI. Also any indication of Microsoft having yet another PDC again this year?

brilliant..
