This was my OB's 1st share, but it never made the trip. I suspect lack
of 'plain text formatting' could be involved.
In any case Bruce has a problem and could use some help.

Subject:Windows 8.1 problem
Date: Thu, 02 Oct 2014
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
It would seem that it will be called Windows 10...the buzz is that MS is
distancing itself from Windows 8 by skipping the number 9. I am running 8.1
It is ok, but on my PC I would say that I think I liked Windows 7 Ultimate a
bit better. I seem to have to reboot more often with 8.1 than
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.

I don't think System Restore restores all files - it isn't an image,
just protection for key system files.
It restores everything back to what it was. It restores changed
files. I have never had it not work.
In my experience, Windows 8 is significantly more flaky than Windows
7, so
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
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.
