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

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.
