Rumors, just rumors: Windows 10...



Leaked? More like "Faked"! There's no such thing as "Build 9901" - the currently released test Build for Windows Insiders is Build 9879, and new releases are on hold until after the holidays. Most of these pictures in this above article are reprints of older stuff with bits of recent promo material superimposed on them. I've been testing Win-10 Technical Preview, and I wasn't born yesterday. It's nice, but it has a long way to go yet, and so far, it's a RAM hog...I have 4 GB of RAM, and it uses about half of that even when it isn't really doing anything but awaiting instructions. Are we supposed to buy a new box with huge amounts of RAM, just to run the next version of Windows? How do you spell Engineered Obsolescence?

And it isn't called "Windows Ten" because it's just so superior to whatever came before it. It's called "Ten" because "Nine" sounds too much like "Nein" in German, meaning "No". Würde ich dich anlügen?
