micky Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Nearly a month ago, Microsoft signed off on the RTM build of Windows 8 with the build number of 9200.16384.win8_rtm.120725-1247. That's the same build number that was offered to early qualified users who were able to download Windows 8 well ahead of its planned and official October 26th launch. Now a known Windows news leak source has posted a screenshot that shows yet another build number for Windows 8. The Winunleaked.info forums (free registration required) is the source of the properties menu screenshot, which seems to show that the newest build number for Windows 8 is now 9200.20500. Previously, another Internet screenshot leak showed that Microsoft had updated the Windows 8 to build number 9200.20495.120814-1420. No other information about this new build was revealed in the leaked screenshot. Microsoft has yet to comment if the company is working on new builds of Windows 8 beyond the RTM version, although we can assume that is indeed what they are doing. However, it's currently unknown if this new build number revealed means that Microsoft might have some kind of "day one" patch for Windows 8 when the OS is made available to the general public on October 26th. http://www.neowin.ne...dows-8-revealed Thanks for the correction!

I am assuming you are not familiar with a website called facebook... or an email system called gmail... Or a browser called Chrome. Or Windows XP, Vista, or 7. If you think there is no data collection going on in the last three OS, you are sorely mistaken. At least when the default services are all running, which you can disable just the same as you can disable it from occuring in WIndows 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator DKT27 Posted August 28, 2012 Administrator Share Posted August 28, 2012 1. MS has publicly mentioned in their statement that IP address, etc. are kept with them for some time (never specified how long). MS already knows your email address and stuff if you have used the online profile or have logged in via so. Even if we trust MS with our data, I personally can't trust MS cause the type of softwares I use.2. Sure, you can easily disable smartscreen. But XP/Vista/7 never sent any data to MS when you installed stuff. If there was any data sent for installers, it was done anonymously.3. This thing coming out was a great thing, why? Because MS was using older encryption model which can be exploited for Man-In-Middle attacks. Only after the breakthrough, they started using the newer one.
