What am i reading here can some one tell me

[AlexGoesHigh]

i dont get op, is the leak just the images or does that build leaked completely?

[Sidiox]

I'm quite sure those images were leaked ages ago, or is this about a full build leak? Both links are dead for me

[Me1z]

None of the links work, can anyone clarify what exactly is going on? Is this just pictures of words or does someone actually have access to an early version of Windows 9?

[Misanthrope]

This builds can be retrofitted to crack the final version so yeah, Good job MS investing all that money into new DRM but still can't plug the holes within your organization to stop leaks  :lol:

[GM_Peka]

Got the strangest sense of déjà vu here.

Seriously. Nvidia and Apple have this on lock. MS needs to send their employees to Nvidia to learn how to shut their mouths. We STILL don't know wtf is going on with the next series GTX 8xx series lol. 

 

Hell we thought 8xx was being debuted the day they showed that 3000 dollar Titan card.

It would help if they didn't oursource so goddamn many of them, I still have buddies who worked at the call center during the VLCS launch crisis a few years back and they still have active credentials and are able to pull anything from MSDN, not to mention they never actually signed an NDA because technically only the outsourcing german company is responsible and they also contracted what it would be a 4th party recruiting company that doesn't gives a fuck about NDAs.

[mr moose]

So, according to a network we can't access and a myce/dlf forum, windows 9 will be released 3 years after windows 8? shock.   

 

I'm not too sure how I am supposed to react to this.

[Victorious Secret]

Nvidia and AMD keep things so tight because they have very clear and very enforceable NDAs. They don't have as many holes, so to speak, as MS does. You screw with Nvidia/AMD, they will blacklist you so hard you'll actually regret it. Back when I worked at a retail marketing joint, I got the chance to be a Nvidia rep. Holy jesus effing Christ those NDAs were more nasty than anything I've ever since signed from Samsung or even Microsoft. Nvidia does not play around.

 

MS NDAs, while brutal, are spread across so many vendors and partners and MSDN members and everything else you can imagine. ITs good that they offer it up for development to so many places outside their company and that people get access so early, but theres your downside. Sooner or later this is going to happen, and I'm sure someone is happy to cough up one of many ways of accessing these early builds since it doesn't hurt them at all.

 

Also, @mr moose this is how you're supposed to react:

Yeah Linus on his WAN show last night was basically saying he has a contact at Nvidia and he won't tell him anything, and that is just how Nvidia works. Nvidia doesn't mess around. It blows my mind that with MS's legal team, gigantic pool of money that they can't keep the rumours/leaks down.

They probably could track it down and close the leak, but being an OS and phone product, rumors like these are good for business and make marketing easier.  Just like AMD and their countdown timers and all the rumors that started about mantle, freesync and the 9000 series long before amd officially said anything. It builds hype and they can judge reaction and make changes if necessary. Unlike nvidia where they are in tight competition and any leak of their specs to amd could potentially hurt the profits on a whole line of cards.

 

EDIT: I probably shouldn't say they "are" good for business, but more that they "could" be good for business.

I wouldn't say the DRM leak, and a possible rent fee for the OS was good for business.

 

Good leaks are like "start bar is back". "Metro is optional".

I wasn't allowed to talk about something that was already in the rumor mills for crying out loud. They take it very, very seriously. Of course, I wanted to keep my position at the company and I didn't need Nvidia slapping me with a lawsuit for violating NDA, so I kept my mouth shut the entire time.

 

I've never had to actually sign a Apple NDA but from those I've worked with, its essentially the same thing. You talk, your career is done. 

[Accursed Entity]

Waiting for some "leaked" screenshots now then.

I guess that depends on your per-conceptions as to the companies intentions.   I personally don't see them as trying to control the masses, just ensuring they get maximum $$ from their product.

Their developer NDAs are pretty lax because everyone just pirates the software when it gets announced. Not me of course, but a lot of my friends pirated Yosemite.

 

Basically don't give away explicit details or your license will be revoked and we might sue you.
