Note: Brandon Live is refering to the GDR that will be released next Spring - the release that MJF/Thurrott had been bragging as "Windows Threshold will be named Windows 9 and will be launched in April 2015"

While Brandon still knows a lot of people inside MS, he left the company after 8.1 was released. I wouldn't put too much trust in him anymore as he isn't really an insider anymore.

"Last I heard, whether to call it Windows 9 or Update 3 or 8.2 or whatever was still up in the air."

 

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. :)

At this point, I'm starting to doubt that Windows 9 exists. It honestly sounds as if Windows.vNext is going to be more with Windows 8.

Now you are going to get flamings from those guys who claimed that MS is trying to push away win8 because of the bad name and put up win9 ASAP. :)

I get flamed regardless, it's not going to change much. :)

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.

Wzor talking something about his twitter. maybe will not protected in coming days  :D

 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.

Lol, no flaming I promise. 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 :)

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. :)

    • This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
