Very cool! Right around the corner. :)
Thanks for posting that, John.
Hi there
Checking all "the usual suspect places" that have had these leaks in the past (If anybody can remember the W7 testing frenzy a few years ago !!!).
Nothing so far --Ms has got this stuff locked down tighter than San Quentin California State penitentiary in Riot Mode. !!

Testing Windows 7 is what brought me back to Windows. :) Before that I was using Linux Mandrake on my Computers.jimbo45, post: 33035, member: 69 said:
I have tested quite a few different Linux distros, but never tried Mandrake. Out of curiosity, what made you choose that one?Before that I was using Linux Mandrake on my Computers.
I tried Red Hat and a few other version but didn't like them. For me Mandrake felt more user friendly.
Hi there
We used to call Mandrake "Mandrivel" -- these days I'd recommend for any Windows user -- OPENSUSE (KDE), LINUX MINT 17 (KDE) or DEBIAN (KDE). The KDE desktop IMO is the one that should give Windows users the least problems when switching -- but of course there are MANY alternative desktops you can use with these distributions. - I'd get away from UBUNTU these days - it's going through political shenanigans and the tie up it has with Canonical rather gets it away from the spirit of Open source and free development.
Meanwhile of course the wait for W9 continues -- I'm sure with new devices like the Surface Pro 3 W9 will certainly be worth the wait. (I like Linux too BTW and use it a lot - I often use a portable Linux system with several Windows VM's which can be ordinary windows - Only Enterprise can run Windows to Go but running other versions of Windows from a totally external USB device can be run easily as VM's from Linux systems. ).

Thanks for the reply! Ubuntu 8.04 was my first shot at Linux and I rather liked it, but after 10.04 not so much anymore. After that I experimented with Fedora, Mint, Debian, Salix, Puppy Linux and looking through my stack of installation disks, I did try out Mandriva.Winuser, post: 33204, member: 360 said:
