Thanks to Canouna for the info!! [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

When they were developing Windows 7, Winsupersite confirmed that it will be the last windows based on the Windows NT core. Seeing the build numbers does not seem to confirm this. Win7 was 6.1 and Win8 is 6.2

First off, welcome mahen23


Honestly I've learned that not everything that Paul Thurrott says can be trusted. For example, just a few weeks ago he said that the build of Windows 7 SP1 that leaked wasn;t the final build and was very adament about it, but it turned out he was wrong.

The build numbers that you see are 100% real

Well it still sucks to be on NT kernel. Say hello again to BSOD and re-start after installs. NT kernel is 18 years old according to wikipedia. [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Paul Thurrott = "liar" (MSFT Press Blah Blah) lolSpecialist in rumors and rumors only.
