OH, how I miss DOS! It was just so Clean and simple.

DOS had two strikes against it, although only one from my viewpoint.

First - for the mass market- was the command line at C:\. Most people did not want to learn that simple language, even though there are only about 8 commands that really matter (dir, copy, delete etc).

Second, and the major bugbear for me, was the complete incapacity for multi-tasking (yes, one could add extended RAM but not run two or more different code segments in it at once because of the conflict crashes). Perhaps most people didn't see the need for multi-tasking, but I had about a dozen or so reiterative geological models constantly on-the-go plus simultaneous CAD editing of the resultant maps. So the wonderful advent of OS/2, a combined effort from both MS and IBM, was manna from heaven.

Then Gates abruptly pulled the plug on OS/2, opting instead for the crass mass market Windows 3 ... glitzy, colour bubbles but well suited for low end marketing. Completely lacking in multi-tasking capability. I attended one of the MS breakfast presentations at that stage, bur left early after the croissant/coffee break point because the MS rep had stood there and arrogantly intoned: "We have determined that you don't need multi-tasking".

Although IBM persevered with OS/2 for some time after (and so did I), the market glitz of Win3 well obliterated the nuances of OS/2. The mass market was indeed unaware of the productivity available through multi-tasking. I often idly wonder where OS/2 would be today if Gates had not double-crossed IBM.

I tried NT for a while after that, then went to a Linux work station mode with a DOS VM to retain my CAD library out of AutoCAD and DesignCAD.

Win2k, then XP, then Win7, now Win11 finally answered that palaeolithic multi-tasking question while providing drivers for a much greater range of peripheral hardware than Linux ever did.

guys yesterday nothing so its fake... i think they released it on 8.10 and on october 1 will be office 2024

Paul Thurrott normally a reliable source for Windows 11 news and updates has written blog post on his website about the official release of 24H2 which in part says this.

But it’s much more likely that what we’re seeing here is a bit of update theater in which Microsoft gives the impression of testing the final build before foisting it on the broader user base in stable. So that’s where my money is.

My emphasis. I think he's right about MS just foisting the official build onto folks soon.


Thurrott in his post mentions the update release cycles for Windows. This is explained in detail by MS here>

And just like that.......

Microsoft officially confirms Windows 11 24H2 is 'delayed' with KB5043145 update

Microsoft has officially confirmed that Windows 11 version 24H2 is not launching as a preview update today.

I don't recall MS making an official announcement of the date 24H2 was going to be released, or that it was delayed. Typical Neowin, any old clickbait headline will do.

Neowin is full of crap, I don’t know how they still exist after all these years. I swear everyone who writes for them are wayward 15 year olds.

The only official statement I have read from Microsoft regarding Octobe 8th is a security update and the end of service for 21 & 22H2 as stated in this post from @Brink and mentioned in the first paragraph.

Ha,ha,ha....click bait

yeah pathetic neowin click bait about the 24H2 release

All these posts and articles about 24H2 from places like Neowin (and other's) who actually have zero credibility IMO as recent articles have proven.

Whenever will be, will be.

I truly endorse the conspiracy that Doris Lessing plagiarised Doris Day.

Qué será, será

Based on this post by X user Bob Pony, Microsoft started releasing official Windows 11 24H2 ISOs, just days after the evaluation ISOs (the links are different).

At this point, Windows 11 24H2 could be released the next patch Tuesday or with the optional preview update at the end of October 2024.

Based on the links, these are for OEMs, but nothing changes for the final users.

lol 24H2, 26H2, Oi812
