And the question that still hasn't been answered is, does it really matter? Does the name that is commonly used to refer to a product that will be released in the future really matter to anyone until it's actually released?

When it came to build in March of this year, the Windows 9 name consumed the news stories and what actually happened at build didn't matter.
|

Most other releases haven't been seen as a mockery of the current operating system other then Vista.
|
|
|
|
|
You obviously don't remember the mockery of Windows ME or XP when it was first released.

You can lead a developer to CodeProject, but you can't make them think.
The Theory of Gravity was invented for the sole purpose of distracting you from investigating the scientific fact that the Earth sucks.

Yes and yes, sorry forgot about ME.
XP is a great example, because I too avoided it until I gave it a chance.

You seem to be very critical over CP daily News. CP is not a news source. Chris and his minions bring forward a list of links that may be of interest to developers. They do not have the resources to check these sources nor is this their intent. In fact the comments under each link often give a hint that they are sceptical. Mary Jane Foley is one of the most respected sources for Microsoft News and this link was to one of her stories.
If you don't perceive any value to Daily News, unsubscribe. To use CP as a purely technical resource is perfectly honourable, but subscribing then complaining about the links, not so much.
Thanks to Chris and his team for providing these links!

Oh, who gives a cr@p?
What's Weven called?
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

If you only concern yourself with Weven, why try to bring my opinion down?

Excuse Me!
The operating system is named WINDOWS 7!
Using the correct/official name for an operating system is the most important thing in the world!
... Apparently.

I've never heard of Weven other then in these threads so I wasn't sure what it was

wtf are you talking about?
On second thought: don't answer that.

"What's in a name? That which we call windows
By any other name would still be windows."

Have you ever just looked at someone and knew the wheel was turning but the hamster was dead?
Trying to understand the behavior of some people is like trying to smell the color 9.

I say "Threshold, Threshold, Threshold, I am a name not a number!"
On the Threshold of a Dream perhaps?
When it's launched, I'll write in my Dear Diary on that Lazy Day "Lovely To See You Windows 9, but you need Send Me No Wine, To Share Our Love". In The Beginning, Microsoft missed their deadlines repeatedly, until we'd say "Never Comes The Day when the next version will be out". Are You Sitting Comfortably because September 30th will soon be here but, Have You Heard that it might not happen then? I hope that you can find it So Deep Within You to forgive all the speculation. The Voyage will soon be at an end and The Dream version of Windows will be upon us.

One of my favorite songs by them. I saw them in concert in 71 and they where excellent.

They were here a couple of years back and my wife went to see them. Hayward and Lodge's voices were as good as ever. A trip back to better, simpler times < sigh />

... of course, this has me in a reverie. I met a wonderful woman the week before her 18th birthday and gave her that album.
Somewhat short-sited of me, as that meant we ended up with two copies. Saturday week that meeting will have been exactly 39 years ago and we've been married for over 36 of them.

Congrats, in this day and age that is a rarity. With vinyl it's not a bad thing to have 2 copies, I've wore out so many that if I had the money I've spent on LP's I'd be well off.

Thanks Mike. I've started a process of ripping mine to WAV, cleaning up with CoolEdit Pro and saving to lossless WMA.
I read a really cool tip on-line that I've yet to try. You put a couple of pieces of low tack adhesive tape on the edge of the album; coat the whole thing with a thin coat PVA wood glue, making sure that the entire surface is covered; leave to totally cure then peel off using the tape. The poster swears that it removes so much noise that the album sounds almost new. Of course, it won't repair scratches, but it seem that most of the noise is from fine embedded dirt!

hmm sounds like it might be worth a try but I just always used the trusty LP Cleaning Kit[^] and of course took good care of my LPs. The main thing I found was to always use a good needle and good turn table. Used to have a good sound system, but the one I have now haven't turned it on in over a year, everything I've got is on my PC.

I always used some variant of these cleaners. The most common one in the UK had a sponge pad covered in velvet. I've seen it claimed that these are great for "lighter" particles, but they'd spread the heavier and finer stuff around causing micro-scratches and then packing the crap in.
I retire next April and one project is to retrieve as much stuff from my vinyls (and cassettes) as I can. In some cases, the only replacements I could find have been on YouTube and the quality isn't great.

If I can be of any help let me know, like if something you have is not good quality, etc.. I've got just under 2K CDs most in good condition and covers a broad range.
