Windows-9-Preview-to-Be-Released-for-Download-Later-This-Year.jpg


Windows 9 is most likely the hottest project currently prepared by Microsoft at this point and even though the company says absolutely nothing about it, we still have quite a lot of details about the operating system that's expected to revamp Redmond's modern platform.


At this point, it's not yet clear whether the preview versions of Windows 9 would be released to everyone or only to developers, but we're hearing that the company is trying to prevent future leaks with tightened security measures that would help identify the owner of a leaked copy of the operating system.

Every single build of Windows that's coming out of Redmond for testing purposes is digitally signed with a unique key, so Microsoft would be capable of finding the one who leaked it much easier than before.

hmmm i think that my thoughts about windows 8/8.1 become reality.
I was suspicious about the release of version 9 having already a fresh project Win8.
I hope i am wrong, but as ''Vista'' was an ''experiment'' release so they release after the finalized Windows 7, i was always suspicious that Windows 8 is an ''experiment'' project (now i can explain too many bugs,instability etc etc) so they can after release the finalized Windows 9.

Windows 8 had the Developer Preview, then a Consumer Preview, will the C.Preview be digitally signed / unique key, I wonder?
