Christopher,
Your comments are valid. I did not see the German 9=Nine (Nein) business. Good catch.
I guess I will just waitfor our 'early-adopters/testers to report status.
I am still trying to push fwd to W7pro-64 on my toys. THX.

I've heard a few reasons on why they're skipping 9, and the most plausible
one is that they found that a lot of programs were written back in the day
with "If Windows Version == 9x" to capture windows 95 and 98, it was
capturing windows 9 as well.  By skipping the version they avoid bad
programming from older programs.

It's also just as likely that Windows 9 in German would be Windows No.

Duncan,

I am testing the OS tight now on a Hyper-V VM setting.  So far it is
running pretty good.  I did find some problems. See my facebook wall for
more info.

Subject: [H] New M$ speculation?

My OB called driving home from his Village's Comuter meeting. A member of
the group put forth a presentation that indicates Microsoft's new OS will
be 'Windows 10,' not Windows 9.0. The release date is still Spring 2015.
I can look forward to this information, if true. I am still updating my
machines to Win7.0pro based on List comments!
Comments, opinions?

Best,
Duncan
