Later this month, Microsoft is expected to release a public build of Windows Threshold for use by developers and enthusiasts alike. But, if you are a top tier Microsoft partner, there is a good chance that you already have access to these builds. More proof it doesn't exist

I think you right! I myself do not drink coffee, but those around me who drink, make themselves 5-6 cups a day, but drink only 1-2 of it...The others are excuses to get off the chair, off the screen...
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

Major programming languages often don't make it to version 6, but if they do, they arrive wounded and badly scarred. Why is that? "Where some see 'coincidence', I see 'consequence'."

That's news to me. I've always enjoyed six.

What a load of codswallop.
C++ is already at least 7 versions old (Visual C++ is not a language, but a vendor's version of C++).
VB 6 was inordinately successful.
Java 6 was quite successful too.
He seems too keen to manipulate the facts to fit his theory. I expect better from DDJ.

Software is complicated because it tries to model the irreducible complexity of the world. Even a simple software requirement for a small company that, say, provides secretarial services for the medical insurance industry—”We need an application that makes it easier for our scribes to write up reports from doctors’ examinations”—will always reveal a swirling hodgepodge of exceptions and special cases.
