The Windows 9 release is expected for April 2017; the “Technology Preview” (test version) of Threshold will be released in autumn 2017. According to reports, Microsoft’s top partners have already received pre-release versions of Windows 9. As a source of these statements, informers from the well-known and respected IT and technology website Neowin.

The authors argue that these references have already been successfully tested for their correctness. Thus, the delivered version of Windows 9 is still limited. According to the upcoming beta test version or "Technology Preview", some announced features are missing. Whether this is the new Windows 9 start menu, for example, is unknown.
This menu would surely be interesting for many Windows fans and worth a look in advance. Correspondingly, users are likely to rub their hands in various forums for upcoming leaks. But Neowin writes in the message to Windows 9 that the previously supplied partners fulfill many requirements and must adhere to security requirements. These requirements are intended to ensure that none of the supplied partner information or material can escape into the public.
How these settings look like and how they differ from previous Windows releases are unknown. A glance into the past is sufficient, however, to know that pre-leaks and downloads can never be completely excluded or prevented. Because not only the partners, but also insiders can be responsible for one or the other leak.
This is the case of the former Microsoft Senior Software Architect Alex Kibkalo. He was responsible for distributing the copy protection tool from Windows 8. He was sentenced to three months' imprisonment and a fine of $ 100 in June 2017.
The Microsoft partners could face high penalty penalties if the contract is not respected and thus a significantly higher - at least financially - damage. Also features in the pre-versions themselves are conceivable, which prevent an unauthorized distribution. We will keep you up to date.
