Leaked internal builds are our best clues. Those leaked builds are not nightly builds either (there is some QA before it gets there) and then there is some informed speculation because we didn't get any updates for weeks on end.

(No relation to Microsoft, just a general observation) As far as we know, Microsoft has not categorically denied that they will create another operating system in the future. It'd be terribly stupid for them to do so. The free for the

I feel bad for the voters in the UK. LD got trounced in this election but in the previous two elections they had 22 and 23 percentage of votes. In 2010, Conservatives had 47% of the seats with 36 percent of votes. Labor had almost 40% with
