Microsoft surprise 4-5 May

I don't think Windows 10 10049 is anywhere near ready for general release yet. I hope its a finished Spartan they're talking about.

If it were to happen, RTM on May 5th, the build would not be 10049.

That was a good one, Sorry.

Daylight timesaving is an hour, not a month...

More likely they will announce they are Buying Linux. As in all of it. Every distro. Guys with black shirts white ties and striped suits will simultaneously make offers "that can't be refused." The tip off the rumor is true will be if Linus Torvalds is reported missing within 24 hours of that date.

LOL....but, I still wonder when the community will realise that the OS is merely a vehicle - ie. improve openGL and get gaming devs on board... specifcally target commercial users (btw Mint are looking for graphics devs)
MS has has been shrewd enough by offering Windows 10 for free... it's the spins-off's that pays (not just necessarily telemetry but the eco-system as a whole).

10051 looks better but we are suppose to be getting a new built this week so hopefully see more improvements

I hope so too.. they should concentrate on bug fixes and leave enhancements for a Windows 10.1...Hopefully RC in May (June in Wolfgang's time machine...)

They are going to announce a new upgrade for Windows Media Center

Ok, I think this time I've found it for good.
It should be something related with the new Surface 3, that is going for sale in May 5th. The dates are close and because I assume.

So a new pen or somethin?

Or.. maybe a new keyboard.

MS might announce the date for the RTM??

That's a thought.

If the RTM does come out in the summer that would be about the time they need to come up with the date. IMO...
