WZOR: Windows 9 RTM at the end of 2014

[Matsuda]

Russian leaker WZOR has posted information about Windows 9 again, revealing Windows 9 might be in the hands of some press and with some details on how Microsoft will distribute Windows 9.

According WZOR, several online publications should have received Windows 9 yesterday but are not allowed to publish reviews and screenshots till September 30th. At that date there will also be a press event which Microsoft announced yesterday.

The version provided to the press will be automatically updated at September 30th and according to WZOR that update should activate several features of the operating system that weren’t available before the update.

According WZOR, Microsoft would also plan to distribute enterprise versions (volume licensing) and retail Windows 9 OEM Pro for tablet and desktop PC in one distribution. The Windows 9 OEM Preview versions should only become available to high volume partners.

Microsoft will also likely change some of its activation policies. According to WZOR it will be possible to activate Windows 9 an unlimited amount of times on the same hardware. Also the amount of times it’s possible to (re)activate the license will be increased which should make it easier to transfer your Windows 9 from one PC to another.

WZOR also states that it’s unclear whether Windows 8 and possibly even Windows 7 users can upgrade for free to Windows 9.

That Means Activation System Has Changed ... Ofcourse It Will Be Changed :P

Let's Wait & see How Process / Piracy Will Handle This

If Windows 9 does turn out to be worth it then I will most likely purchase a Retail licensed version same as I did with Windows 7.

I'm in. I never had any issues with Windows 8/8.1. I will be happy to upgrade for free/minimal cost. I have Windows 7 on a dual boot; other than updating (and some gaming), I rarely use it. One thing I have noticed: I've had far fewer problems with Windows Update on Windows 8 than on Windows 7.

I'm guessing they will tie normal Retail to the MS account, just like any mobile OS does, and some limit the number of devices you can use.

That isn't going to replace the way Corporate works, so they'll either make next KMS harder, or do something new.

Always people are so eager to switch from a stable O/S to a buggy one it never made no sense to me . Never has Microsoft put out and O/S that didn't have bugs Windows 98 was not any good tell the 2nd edition witch was the same as sp1 . XP didn't start geting stable tell after SP1 and didn't really start getting secure tell they put a better Firewall in it when SP2 came out . Before SP2 you could catch a virus in minutes by just connecting to the internet. Windows 7 did not get to be a very stable O/S tell SP1. Windows 8 needed Windows 8.1 witch was the same as SP1 . Can you see the pattern ? Microsoft never makes stable O/S at 1st come out they get an O/S stable after some updates . Then make a new O/S with a new set of bugs and they sell us a new set of bugs and tell us we need to upgrade . :P

W7 BETA ran way better on the laptop I had at the time, than stable, fully patched Vista at the time.

But yeah I'm a fool for the new crap, I just don't shove it on my main OS, and I don't bother downloading leaks that have barely changed.

I just want W9 to find out how much they fucked up activation wise, because I don't even use Windows as my main OS anymore, and since all my apps were cross-platform or had alternatives, Visual Studio is basically the only Windows app I have no alternative (don't talk to me about Mono for .NET it isn't the same/good enough and it isn't Visual Studio).

PS: I remember XP RTM and SP1. I was 12 cleaning up spyware, noticing just going to a normal site (not even porn or shady/fake crack sites), was enough for ads on them to put crap that Spybot and AdAware would detect. Still today some people get infected by Yahoo ads though.

On a machine that hasn't already been raped by malware I don't see that crap happen anymore.

I never ran vista but a few days when windows 7 came out it was leaked on the internet already, but for those that bought a new computer with vista we got a free windows 7 upgrade . So I basically went from a very stable XP SP3 to a not so stable windows 7 it was not very stable compared to XP . But after sp1 hotfixes it started running good for me.

Only cracked windows Ive ever tested were in a virtual machine . On my real computers Ive always bought or was gave a legit key .

I remember people getting virus from Windows updates even say you had XP SP1 and went to windows updates to get SP2 you would get a virus.

You take AV like back then we ether used norton antivirus or AVG nether were good at even killing virus back then . So if your AV said you were infected more times than not you would have to reformat.

Then you had everyone infecting themselves with programs like KaZaA and iMesh I found me some lite versions of the program that dint have spyware . Back then people were nuts and infected themselves. :lol:

Once AV like kaspersky got popular that helped a lot because they really prevented virus . So other AV had to follow suite.
