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

Change Windows NT to Windows NT (also known as Windows New Technology) Or similar 5.198.117.21 (talk) 21:08, 10 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

According to the Windows NT article, "NT" was formerly expanded to "New Technology" but no longer carries any specific meaning. Stickee (talk) 22:45, 10 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on Microsoft Windows. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true to let others know.

This message was posted before February 2018. After February 2018, "External links modified" talk page sections are no longer generated or monitored by InternetArchiveBot. No special action is required regarding these talk page notices, other than regular verification using the archive tool instructions below. Editors have permission to delete these "External links modified" talk page sections if they want to de-clutter talk pages, but see the RfC before doing mass systematic removals. This message is updated dynamically through the template {{source check}} (last update: 5 June 2024).

  • If you have discovered URLs which were erroneously considered dead by the bot, you can report them with this tool.
  • If you found an error with any archives or the URLs themselves, you can fix them with this tool.

Cheers. —cyberbot IITalk to my owner:Online 03:56, 27 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"Flying Windows" inexplicably placed in "Version History"

It has been misplaced IMO and given the same significance as Win3.1/9x/NT - it is just a screensaver, and regardless of the history of this debate is entirely irrelevant within this article and is an insignificant component in the Windows OS. It has no more significance that Marquee, Mystify, or Starfield for example, except for having Windows in its name! Perhaps it belongs in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screensaver#Microsoft_Windows. Cpns (talk) 13:16, 10 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Concur. Except I think the article it came from should have simply been deleted. Accordingly I am not moving it to the Screensavers article. It's just gone. Jeh (talk) 00:56, 11 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
