Windows Keeps Getting Better

Is 8.1 a.k.a Blue some sort of a service pack?

 

Thread Title: Lol.... Things were getting kinda slow, eh WH? We're gonna have to call you "Wild Marketer"...

 

Isn't that obvious? Only that now they're marketing it as free, like they're doing you a favor.

 

There are a few things they can do to improve Windows, such as having users to solve a sudoku game to open their files, etc. Maybe a patience solitaire game; I've been playing one that I just can't win, at all. I think the damn game was coded not to be won.

But, yes, Microsoft should make their users exercise their mind... You want your file, work for it.

Seriously, what gamer wouldn't love that? Give me that, and I'll buy Windows 8 and any future versions.

 

Chess Titans, raaaage...

 

Microsoft: Windows 8.1 is an update, not a service pack

Wild Hunter is just using the same title that Microsoft uses for it's article.

 

Yeah, I know, I saw that. It's what he does....

 

Yeah I prefer quoting them.

Microsoft is a classical example of a company that has a marketing/communication/whatever department(s) that explain things far better than the sensationalist media IMO.

I think that this new information deserves this new thread.

That thread was meant to discuss the leaked Blue build 9364.

 

and the thread starter what .... deserves for the title?
"Windows Keeps Getting Better"
Lol....

 

That's the title that Microsoft gave to the article I quoted.

If you think that it is violating some Wilders Security Forum rule, I suggest reporting the post and/or checking with moderators/administrators.

Cool man......

 

Actually you edited your post to include that quote after I made this thread (check the times), but it's OK.

 

Thanks for the share Wild Hunter.

 

I wonder if MS is trying to redefine the "service pack", probably with the intent of eventually charging customers to pay for it in the future. Maybe they're transitioning to a more incremental Windows release schedule that is subscription based?

 

Yup. A service pack to the disaster called Windows 8. Its an admission of just how terrible Windows 8 is barely a year after its official release.

 

Redmond can call it update all it wants. Most people will see it as a service pack release. Why do you need to release this if Windows 8 is so damn good?

 

"Windows Keeps Getting Better"??

 

no kidding.

just that they would mention that this service pack is free probably means the other ones will not be.

 

I still think they're moving toward doing a subscription thing with Windows... it's just a matter of time as to when.. But I do think it's coming.
