• Patching the future: How Microsoft can make Windows 9 simpler

  Posted on July 7, 2014 at 07:05 CDT by woody • Comment in the Forums

  You and I both know that Microsoft never listens to me. Oh well. Ideas like “Patch Monday” could save all sorts of grief.

  Anyway, in the same vein, this is my attempt to show the powers-that-be a much simpler approach to patching the next version of Windows. More precisely, it’s a concise way to name patches, so people can figure out what they have and what they need.

  Chances MS will pick up on it? I won’t hold my breath.

• Wzor: Windows 8.1 Update 2 marks demise of Win8, Windows 9 to follow in fall

  Posted on July 7, 2014 at 07:02 CDT by woody • Comment in the Forums

  Looks like Windows 8.1 is done with the shipping of Update 2, currently scheduled for the August Patch Tuesday bunch.

  Wzor says Windows 9 is going to be announced in the Fall. But there’s some question about what constitutes Windows 9, and what constitutes Threshhold. More on that as details unfold.
