Article update + An objection
Aren't we going to update the "Windows History" section to include Windows 7?? Besides, I'm not sure about Windows 8. The link mentioned above leads me to Micro Soft Careers, and it has no info about Windows 8. TKhaldi (talk) 10:06, 28 January 2010
reference in Security section isn't formatted correctly
It's showing up in the text as: <refSchneier, Bruce (2005-06-15). "Crypto-Gram Newsletter". Counterpane Internet Security, Inc.. http://www.schneier.com/crypto-gram-0506.html. Retrieved 2007-04-22. </ref>

Speculations again!
Hello guys.
This happens every time: Some guy or gal writes in his or her personal blog that the codename for the next version of Windows is such and such and you guys just add it to article as if WP:RS and WP:CRYSTAL don't worth a squat?
Please, people, past experience is nice too: We've had correct codename rumors in the past, correct codenames rumored for wrong products, wrong codenames and codenames that never saw the daylight. Examples are respectively "Longhorn", "Blue" (originally rumored to be that of Windows 9), "Next" (which was pure nonsense) and "Blackcomb". WP:RS and WP:CRYSTAL have already passed their exam of worthiness. Please, respect them. At least, wait for Microsoft BUILD conference.
Best regards,

Add under Wine (within the subsection):
- Linux Unified Kernel – A set of patches to the Linux kernel allowing first-class *.exe file support in Linux (using Wine DLLs), use Windows drivers, and be faster than interpreted Wine.

Request for Comments: c:
link prefix for Wikimedia Commons
There is a cross-wiki discussion in progress as to whether c:
should be enabled globally as an interwiki prefix for links to the Wikimedia Commons. If the proposal gains consensus this will require the deletion or renaming of several pages on the English WIkipedia whose titles begin with "C:", including one or more redirects to this page. Please take a moment to participate in the discussion.
There is also a related discussion on the English Wikipedia at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2014 February 16#C:ATT to which you are invited to contribute.
