I was looking through a NuGet package for Rx-Aliases and found that it references a type called IQbservable. I initially thought it was a weird bug in the generator (the file is generated by a tool), but then found this page[^] on MSDN.
So, is Qservable (Queryable Observable) a word now?

Sci News is reporting that astronomers at the University of New South Wales have discovered an Earthlike planet just 16 light-years away.

Do they have QA?
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

No they haven't.
What they've "seen" is a wibble in some part of the electromagnetic spectrum, probably caused either by someone's cellphone as they twatted about what came out of their anus after their liquid lunch, or by sentient interstellar dust clouds performing rabbit silhouettes to pacify their noisy kids*.
Getting really sick of all this "WE'VE DISCOVERED YET ANOTHER PLANET!!!" BS, now.
* The probability of either of those options being true is actually higher than the probability of a planet having been discovered.

Why is it that for years now Microsoft has been saying windows has gone to a consecutive roll out plan from now on, did everyone miss this?
First comes 8
Then 8.1
Then 8.2
Then 8.3
Windows 8 brings in a paradigm shift, metro is the .net framework, and the desktop is compatibility mode.
The concept of windows 8 is to bring the world slowly into windows 9 which does not have the desktop.
Windows 9 is nothing like windows 7.

Not according to some Mary chick or "according to my sources." she says - which is not Microsoft.
|

|

Ummmm.... most of Mary Jo's sources are inside Microsoft or very closely related (very large developers who get pre-release information). She's not always 100% accurate but she's way more accurate than some random guy on an online forum (cough... cough...).

The consecutive roll out was taught in class from my teacher who works for Microsoft training me to work for Microsoft. When someone is wrong about news you should stop listening to them.

If he works at Microsoft, he'd be under non-disclosure. As for the update; not having more consistent roll-up updates was a big mistake in XP and Windows 7. Everything I've read indicates that Windows 9 is still on schedule for April 2015.
BTW, all that said, I think Microsoft is now changing version numbers too fast! The Visual Studio situation is especially annoying.
|
|
|
|
|
He also said it in the Microsoft virtual academy videos.
The whole point of continuous roll outs from 8.1 - 8.9 is to keep the concept of windows 8 while advancing the system away from the desktop.
If people would adapt windows 8 faster visual studio wouldn't have been so annoying.

What's happening with Visual Studio is independent from Windows 8. The problem is that by changing the major release name costs money where incremental updates are typically free. One point of continuous updates is to avoid this (which also has a huge impact on resellers, who usually require that a vendor rebuy or "flush" the supply when then a major version number is changed.) The other point of updates is to make it easier to "patch" a system up to the latest version.

Windows 8 is fueling the changes to visual studio as windows 8 is the .net framework as an operating system, the code for visual studio and windows 8 are the exact same.

Windows 8 is NOT "the .net framework as an operating system". I don't know where you get your information. Windows 8 RT requires you write user applications in .NET, but .NET is not the operating system.
Having a Visual Studio 2012, 2013 and 2014 are about marketing, not engineering.
It seems you never had a question, but are simply arguing for the sake of hearing yourself. (And it seems to have not occurred to you that many of us are well read on the history and inner workings of Windows and know people, including the actual engineers, who work on it at Microsoft.)

Windows 8 is the .net framework, nothing you say is going to change that.
