Exactly why MS is probably farther along with Blue then what anyone is aware of except some guys in white coats hidden in a closet in Redmond. The next release will come sooner then later.

The rumors are for summer, I could see it coming in July.

unbelievable 2013 and still xp is flying. maybe blue will clip its wings. fingers crossed for a good os.

Vista was a good OS (except the damage NVidia did to it), Win 7 was good. Windows 8 is amazing. If you still think nothing has topped xp then Blue wont do anything for you. Its not like its gonna add a start button. Its archaic and unnecessary, and GONE. Move on or stay with xp.

There might be somebody at the Coffeehouse forum to puke out some info. Shane probably has as much insight into this as anyone.

That's not really the reason XP is still so popular though. XP may not be amazing by today's standards (of course, neither is Windows 8, imo), but it more than suffices for certain areas of application. It's "good enough".

never said it wasn't good enough. Not even close to that.

No, you didn't. And I didn't say you did. What you did imply though was that (at least some of) the people still using XP do so because they think nothing has topped that OS. And I simply find it hard to imagine that there are such people out there, including the very ones still using XP. Of course, if I'm wrong and there are, then you're probably right and no update to Windows 8 would change their opinion about that.

Can you read ? lol.. The Channel9 Coffeehouse is a forum. The link is to a forum post. You know what forums are right.

" Microsoft still in denial phase over W8.. possible "relaunch" "

They have allot of experts there that might have some interesting information to share that is relevant to this topic.

Is "Windows Blue" an update for Windows Phone 8 rather than Windows 8:

I refer to the final couple of lines of the the post linked to above.

Blue seems like a update for everything not just windows 8. We're talking Windows 8, RT, Phone, Server, Azure as well probably. Not to mention updates to other services like Skype, SkyDrive, outlook and the built in apps finally. Time this with a new Xbox system and we're talking an even bigger year for MS than 2012 was.

    • Sennheiser's audiophile grade HD 600 hits lowest ever price on Amazon Prime Day 2026

      Sennheiser's audiophile grade HD 600 hits lowest ever price on Amazon Prime Day 2026 by Sayan Sen If you are in the market for high-quality audiophile-grade over-ear headphones then Sennheiser's HD 600 are a great choice for sure, especially today on Prime Day 2026 as the product has hit its lowest ever price (purchase link under the specs table down below). The Sennheiser HD 600 has long been regarded as a reference headphone for listeners seeking a detailed and natural listening experience. It is an open-back design that is built around the idea of acoustic transparency which is essentially said to allow sound waves to move freely for a more spacious and accurate presentation by reducing turbulence and the type of distortion that can result from it. At the heart of the product is Sennheiser’s proprietary driver system featuring a 42 mm driver paired with a lightweight diaphragm and aluminum voice coils. The company says this design helps deliver fast response times and better articulate sound across the audible frequency range. Comfort and durability are also key aspects of the HD 600 as the headphones feature soft velour ear pads designed for extended listening sessions. The HD 600 comes with a detachable 3-meter cable, a 6.3 mm stereo connector, and a 3.5 mm adapter for compatibility with a wide range of audio equipment. The technical specs of the Sennheiser HD 600 are given in the table below: Specification Value Transducer Principle Dynamic, Open-Back Ear Coupling Circumaural (Over-Ear) Frequency Response 12 Hz – 40,500 Hz Sound Pressure Level (SPL) 97 dB (1 V) Impedance 300 Ω Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) < 0.1% (1 kHz, 1 V) Cable Length 3 m (9.8 ft) Connector 3.5 mm Stereo Jack Plug Included Adapter 6.3 mm (1/4") Stereo Jack Adapter Weight 260 g Magnetic Field Strength 1.8 mT Driver Size 42 mm Dynamic Driver Diaphragm Size 38 mm Get it at the link below: Sennheiser HD 600: $237.00 (Sold by Electronics Expo, Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $449.95) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

      So the card is targeted at headphone users - so the review should be from someone that uses this - maybe I can review a card next time.
    • TerraMaster F2-425 Pro review: a low-powered Intel NAS that ships with AI (OpenClaw)

      By ad47uk · Posted

      I have a older F4-210 NAS, it is pretty basic, the CPU is not the fastest by a long way and only 1GB of ram, but it works fine. I don't understand the need for A.I in a NAS. It seems like A.i is being shoved into everything, if we like it or not. i will stick to my old Terramsater NAS, thankfully the OS is not being updated. Also, got myself a small NAs built using a Raspberry Pi 5. iy usesd less energy, so stays on all the time. As for the unit above, if it is as reliable as my old Terramaster Nas, then it will be a good unit.
