WZOR Talks About Windows (Codename) 9, Is a DP Imminent?


Recommended Posts

Interesting stuff either way, so far all I expect is a update 2 for 8.1 later this year and Windows 9 for Spring 2015. 

No, a beta of Windows 9 in Spring 2015.

With that, there is, perhaps, some extra time for a Update 3 to Windows 8.1

I don't think there's going to be a 3rd, we could get a beta of 9 in the Winter and a update 2 that adds the new menu to 8.1.  I don't expect them to push Windows 9 back into late 2015.  Only time will tell though.

Hopefully MS would tell us something about Update2, or maybe win9 in WPC July?? Btw, didn't see it mentioned in Neowin News : Amazon is added to ban list (LOL) .. :laugh:

Almost at 10 000. Also, this is most likely a Windows 9 build, not a Windows 8.1 Update 2 build...

Yep, it's win9 build. :)

 

Btw, my friend had told me, the "uncensored version" is fake, some "guesses" were wrong(he won't tell me which ones, naturally), he agreed to what I thought, there couldn't be a wp9 preview before win9RTM ........ sorry @BAVO. :/

Even if 6.3.9755 is a Win9 build that's not to say it doesn't share things with a planned update 2.  For example if we get update 2 with the new start menu back in then you can be 100% sure that's going to be the same code in Windows 9.   Or maybe update 2 will change the build this time?  We don't know really, besides I expect Windows 9 to be kernel version 6.4 and not 6.3 still.

Well, I get 6.3.9740 for my Powershell in Update1. :)

 

Update2 will still be 9600, just a increment in delta, don't know if it will change for WinThreshold though.

lmao :laugh:

"Bottom line: Microsoft is definitely all-in with subscriptions. But Windows 365 or anything like it isn't in the cards, my sources say. Fake list is fake."

What is this?  A new app to get other apps or a new style for the store?  Need more info.

Looks like an in-store store. :/

 

Looks awful, TBH. Doesn't match the Windows 8 look at all.

Seeing the Chinese (I presume) signs in the upper left corner, it's probably another PCBeta experiment, not something official.
It's called 'APPXWorld' so I guess it's some sort of library of unofficial apps for windows.
I'm very interested how they will enable sideloading in a user friendly way, could be a new method of cracking Store appswink.gif

 

EDIT: http://www.appxworld.com/ it's indeed what I expected, a 3rd party app browser by PCBeta, only existing apps though, so no side-loading

Tks @BAVO, it was a App from a team with the PCBeta guy, his UID is "1", so I did some word-spreading as compliment, sorry didn't explain late last night.

 

Quoted from my post in MDL, no further comments : :)

 

."..... anyway, why should I take seriously from someone who said "Windows Codename Threshold will be called Windows 9"?? Like my friend commented "LOL, what a load of crap"....."

Still awaiting Miss Foley's comment on the statement that appeared in the official Microsoft Job Listing page : :)

 

"We are a team focused on developing services that will power Microsoft's ability to offer Windows as a Service."

Here you go:

"We are a team focused on developing services that will power Microsoft's ability to offer Windows as a Service."

 

We'll just have to wait and see, but we have to remember, Azure started off as Windows Server as a service.  That was the original thinking behind it but it's now expanded to offer *nix and so on.  So Windows as a Service could be different from what some think it'll be.  It could be like what, iirc, Citrix offers, or maybe it was someone else, who offered you a remote VM Windows desktop as subscription for those who need to sometimes run Windows apps.   It wouldn't be a stretch to have them offer up a "Windows Service" for those who need a Windows desktop VM from time to time through Azure.

Tks, @BAVO, this statement might have nailed Miss Foley, while she was spilling BS about her theory of "Windows is a platform, not a service" in her yesterday's blog, MS had actually (semi-)officially announced a whole month ago that : "Here in Microsoft we have a existing team working on a existing project to offer Windows as a service".... she could make all her guessings/speculations for all I care.

 

Naturally Miss Foley won't get legit info's from her "long and trusted source", MS has a team to track down inside leakers, they probably know who is her source.

 

Wonder how Miss Foley could said in such affirmative way "fake list is fake", when she didn't have a chance to view the status updates in corpnet - I am quite she didn't have that chance, or else she wouldn't have made this BS remark in the 1st place .... oh, BTW, it was updated recently but naturally I am unable to say anything more.

 

Oh yes, one small thing, my friend's comment on Miss Foley's blog of yesterday "lmfao, not again, another load of crap". :)

To be fair, FaiKee, I trust Mary Jo more than your random Chinese source, as much as i would like for Windows 365 to be real.

I really think Windows could work as a service and so does MJF apparently, have a look at my Windows subscription service concept: bav0.com/howwhy-a-windows-subscription-might-work-concept/  :D

Just choose what you wish to trust, this is your decision, btw, guess you might have seen this dated MS pic(it's back in win8/azure times), they were starting to work on "Platform(i.e. the OS) As A Service", notice how "vendors(service providers)" will manage OS instead of users, and for "Platform+Software" As A Service, LOL, vendor will manage everything.

    • OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT memory by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT's memory, making the system more capable, current, and scalable across long-term use. Memory allows ChatGPT to remember useful details about users, including their preferences, projects, and constraints. Instead of starting every conversation from scratch, ChatGPT can use this context to provide more relevant responses in future chats. OpenAI first launched saved memories in February 2024. That feature allowed users to explicitly ask ChatGPT to save information into its memory, such as travel plans or writing preferences. However, this system had limits because it depended heavily on users giving clear instructions to remember something. Additionally, saved memories could become stale over time. In April 2025, OpenAI expanded memory by allowing ChatGPT to reference past chat context outside the saved memories list. This was powered by a background process called “dreaming,” which automatically curates memories from chat history. This made ChatGPT better at learning from natural conversation without requiring users to manually save every detail. Today, OpenAI announced a more capable and compute-efficient memory architecture built on top of dreaming. This new system improves ChatGPT’s ability to carry forward useful context, follow user preferences, and remain accurate as time passes. According to OpenAI’s internal evaluations, the new system improves factual recall from 67.9% in 2025 to 82.8% in 2026. Preference adherence improves from 55.3% to 71.3%, while accuracy over time improves from 52.2% to 75.1%. The best part of this new system is a new memory summary page where users can review ChatGPT's memories. Users can even update details, correct information, or give instructions on what topics ChatGPT should bring up and when. This new, improved memory system is available to ChatGPT Plus and Pro users in the US starting today. It will roll out to more countries, as well as Free and Go users, in the coming weeks.
    • I work for a video production company in Australia. The camera operators shoot footage and then pass the SD card over to the editors. Much easier than handing over the entire camera. Plus, on a busy day you can hand off the SD card and then pop another in for the next shoot. Or, you might have used multiple SD cards because you need the extra space for a long shoot. I also use USB cables and wifi for transferring footage, but in many cases an SD card reader is the easiest method.
    • Microsoft Edge 149.0.4022.52 by Razvan Serea Microsoft Edge is a super fast and secure web browser from Microsoft. It works on almost any device, including PCs, iPhones and Androids. It keeps you safe online, protects your privacy, and lets you browse the web quickly. You can even use it on all your devices and keep your browsing history and favorites synced up. Built on the same technology as Chrome, Microsoft Edge has additional built-in features like Startup boost and Sleeping tabs, which boost your browsing experience with world class performance and speed that are optimized to work best with Windows. Microsoft Edge security and privacy features such as Microsoft Defender SmartScreen, Password Monitor, InPrivate search, and Kids Mode help keep you and your loved ones protected and secure online. Microsoft Edge has features to keep both you and your family protected. Enable content filters and access activity reports with your Microsoft Family Safety account and experience a kid-friendly web with Kids Mode. The new Microsoft Edge is now compatible with your favorite extensions, so it’s easy to personalize your browsing experience. Microsoft Edge 149.0.4022.52 changelog: Migration to improved V2 architecture for Workspaces. Workspaces, introduced in Edge in 2022, allows users to create durable sets of tabs that can be saved and shared with others. In order to improve reliability and performance of this feature, the following changes are being made: Migrating data for saved Workspaces from OneDrive/SharePoint to Edge Sync service Removing the collaboration/share functionality of this feature For organizations who have disabled Sync through policy, the existing v1 Workspace data will still be migrated to the new architecture. New v2 Workspaces created after migration won't sync across devices and will remain local to each device. This update occurs on a progressive rollout beginning in Edge Stable v145 and will continue rolling out in Edge v149. For more information, see Getting started with Microsoft Edge Workspaces. Feature Updates Passkey Sync for Enterprise Users. Microsoft Edge is introducing support for passkey synchronization for enterprise users, enabling secure, passwordless authentication across devices. Passkeys created in Edge can now be synced seamlessly, improving sign-in experience while maintaining strong security standards. Note: This is a controlled feature rollout. If you don't see this change, check back as we continue the rollout. Enterprise WebView2 runtime downgrade via DowngradeVersion policy. Administrators can temporarily roll back specific applications to a previous WebView2 Evergreen Runtime version (N-1 or N-2) using the new DowngradeVersion policy in msedgewebview2.admx. The Downgrade Version policy allows enterprises to mitigate critical regressions by specifying per-application exe-to-version mappings. The Edge Updater installs the target version side-by-side, and the WebView2 Loader redirects targeted apps accordingly. Downgrades auto-expire with each new WebView2 release: apps pinned to N-1 remain on the same version (now becoming N-2) and will auto-update in the next release, while apps pinned to N-2 will revert to the current Evergreen version. The policy applies only to enterprise-managed devices (domain-joined or MDM-enrolled). For more information, see Microsoft Edge WebView2 Policy Documentation | Microsoft Learn. Collections retirement. Collections has been removed in this update. Users can no longer access or use the feature. To keep saved content, users can export it, or move all pages to Favorites before updating to Microsoft Edge Stable 149. For more information, see Organize your ideas with Collections in Microsoft Edge - Microsoft Support. Modern, unified, and updated Look and Feel. Microsoft Edge has updated the Look and Feel to give customers a unified experience across all of Microsoft AI surfaces including Copilot and Bing. This changes multiple elements of the UX such as spacing, corners, fonts, default colors, etc. Clarify choices surrounding third-party cookie settings. Language under Settings > Privacy, search, and services > Cookies are clarified to better describe the choices users have in managing third-party cookies. Custom primary password retirement. Users are no longer able to create a new custom primary password in Edge Settings edge://settings/autofill/passwords/settings. Any users who are still using a custom primary password will be automatically migrated to device authentication. Additionally, the PrimaryPasswordSetting policy will no longer support the WithCustomPrimaryPassword option. For more information, see Keep your saved passwords private in Microsoft Edge | Microsoft Support. Unifying Copilot Chat policy controls. The Microsoft365CopilotChatIconEnabled policy is the standard for configuring Copilot Chat. Previously, this behavior was controlled by blocking the Copilot extension, either explicitly or by using the * wildcard via the ExtensionSettings or ExtensionInstallBlockList policies. Extension and sidebar policies no longer affect the appearance or functionality of Copilot Chat. Copilot address bar suggestions were also tied to extension policy settings. Starting in Microsoft Edge version 149, admins can use the CopilotAddressBarSuggestionsEnabled policy to manage this behavior. Intune MAM Protected Downloads. The protected downloads feature for Intune MAM is now available for BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) devices, which aren't managed by a tenant.
