The Russian super sleuth continues his stream of updates on a nearing 8.1 update and the release of Windows 9.
Maybe it's a good thing Microsoft is in a bit of chaos right now, because it's leakier than an 80-year-old man who drank a gallon of tea. WZor, the leaker with a track record dating back to the Vista days, has unleashed a bunch of dates that, if true, indicate a very busy year.
First up, he said Microsoft partners will be getting a pre-beta version of Windows Developer Preview 9 soon. He didn't have a precise date, but figured it would be after February 15, and he put the probability at 90%. The plan was to get it to partners before the Build conference in April.
Next, he said the first and only beta of Windows 9 will appear in May of this year, with one and only one Release Candidate coming at the end of August or the beginning of September. Bugs will be collected through the end of October and up November 15, if necessary. However, he thinks RTM will be around October 21-25 to get it ready for Christmas.
