I wonder when that build will be available??

The OS version information fetched by SNMP is incorrect for windows 10

I tried to get OS version information of windows 10 by SNMP walk, the oid get is "1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0", I got the result

"Hardware: x86 Family 6 Model 45 Stepping 7 AT/AT COMPATIBLE - Software: Windows Version 6.3 (Build 10240 Multiprocessor Free)"

The result is incorrect, because it shows "Windows Version 6.3", but actually, the kernel version of windows 10 is 10.0.

The oid "1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0" is a common oid that stores windows version information.

I suspect that it is a bug of windows 10.

 

Windows 10 Edge locks up

I agree. Edge lockups up as soon as you click on a reply button. Or if temperamental it can lock up just by clicking on a link. It is absolutely hopeless.

I have been through all the solutions and some provide a short term improvement but then it soon reverts to its old tricks. Now IE 11 has started doing the same.

I have a new Toshiba laptop, clean install, Office 365, yatayatayata. The washup is that there is something fundamental wrong and Edge is just rubbish.

 

Thank you for the information, really find that interesting. Not about the number "10" jump but about the statement of " software compatability issues with legacy applications" for OneCore.

I hope we will be able to see this on the next version offered to us.

 

This could easily be a fake or just a random leaked tester build to see how badly a new kernel revision would screw things up. I kind of doubt this because they were clearly building 10 on the NT kernel 6.4 revision as 6.3 was 8/8.1. Seems odd they just jumped the gun pretty hard to make the kernel number 10. If history says anything, kernel jumps never end very well. vista was a mess because of third party developers coding programs to check for "NT kernel 5.x" and therefore didn't play with vista. It's the same as how it's not Windows 9 because of the checking of "if Windows version is 9x" would cause a handful of programs to crash.

I don't know... Unless if there's a MAJOR kernel revision Microsoft hasn't made anyone aware of, I'll have to see it to believe it.

Windows 10 is already on 6.4, Microsoft has said once somewhere before they have no plans to revising kernels anytime soon because 6 is good enough, and doing so would could be a big bug problem.

 

After 9879, I'm a little gunshy...

 

The 'One Core' strategy makes a lot of sense for the maintenance. It should cut down on thier cost. Whether it will do well in all the different environments remains to be seen.

 

I wouldn't lose any sleep over it...because it probably isn't true--or if it is, it doesn't mean anything and is pure marketing (like calling it Win10 instead of Win8.2, etc.) It's only a number...hopefully, Microsoft hasn't let the the PR weenies run loose that deep in engineering...!

 

I can understand to a point. But that's what testing is about. Trying out the changes to see if they work and providing feed back to MS. This is not a prime time OS, it's a preview and MS does need testers and feed back.

They did point that out when you and all of us agreed to perform the testing at the start. Well, I did at least and so far it's doing just about what I expect it to do.

Again, YMMV

You get an "atta boy!" for looking at this within a business perspective. Perhaps now that you have the Windows phone (and I think a Windows tablet?) you're seeing this. This also involves the cost of writing code, but ultimately it's about a familiar OS running across multiple devices. I think eventually people will eat this up, especially the commoners. Who else is accomplishing or can accomplish this?

I think this jump in the kernel may be about the addition of Cortana and especially Continuum. These will be great additions to 10. I can attest having Cortana on my phone for the last 5 or so months that this is a real handy feature to use. This is just a start.

Please look over all of the other handy features that Brink and others wrote about.

Please look over all of the other handy features that Brink and others wrote about. The 8.x code base/kernel already addresses multiple devices, including phones, Cortana, etc. The "10" nomenclature denotes nothing technical--Microsoft could have called it 7.444568 and it would be exactly the same thing as "10". It's more marketing goodness from the PR weenies inside the company, unfortunately--who seem preternaturally concerned that things inside Microsoft aren't "Apple enough" to suit them... (If they knew anything then they'd know why the opposite direction is preferable, but what'ya gonna' do? Some people are simply so untalented that all they can do is to copy something they see being done inside another company. Apple is at "10" (OS X) so now Microsoft should be at "10." El stupido, but as I say, what can you do except behold the madness, cringe, and hang on for dear life?...)

 

To quote Brink’s article that he linked:

Hmm. I would guess then the author must not know what he’s talking about? Neowin

More:

Doesn't look like they're quite finished yet, Walt. *Wink Of course he did go on to say that they could’ve called it anything. Is that where you got the premise for your post?

Perhaps you’re correct, but I doubt it. Maybe, just maybe they gave it that number (BTW > 10.0.9885.0) so that all MS employees know that it’s related to Windows 10 development. You think there’s a chance of that happening, Walt? And that it all may be coincidental?

Yeah, they’re really stupid. I wonder how they got to be so popular > Oh, yeah > That monopoly thing.

Copy? OS X runs across all of Apple’s devices? I don’t think so. There’s iOS to run on their mobile devices.

iOS - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sounds like a real mess and downfall to me. Even Android/Chrome seems to be closer than this.

And is the bolded the reason why users have to pay for the same app on different devices? Not so with MS Store apps ultimately. Purchase once > Run across multiple devices. Of course Apple has to squeeze profit from somewhere other than their hardware. *Wink

Ahh, most likely the X won’t change until another branding iron is placed in the fire.

It’s technically 10.10? Why not just 10.1? Perhaps 10.10 looks better? It does look better than 10.0.9885.0 I must say > Technically speaking. *Wink

Jeff Jeff,
Since you brought it up. Why does Microsoft need testers to begin with? Their employees could do it including the non techs that work there just my opinion.

Microsoft does it again, botches KB 2992611 SChannel patch
