Windows 9 'Threshold' reportedly coming in April 2015

4.4
Good news for those who loathe Windows 8: Microsoft is rumored to be making an announcement regarding Windows 9 during BUILD 2014 in April.

According to SuperSite for Windows, which specializes in posting everything public and secret regarding Microsoft products, the Windows-maker plans on releasing the new operating system in April 2015.

Currently being worked on under the moniker “Threshold”, the pre-alpha build of the OS will be made available to developers after BUILD 2014, and will consist of three milestone releases before it’s sent to manufacturing.

“Threshold” is also believed to be an update to Windows 8 following “Blue”, which would bring together Windows PC, Windows Phone and Xbox One operating systems.

Cyimking 1. Macbooks are overpriced. I had one and I quickly switched back to windows. Macs are for designing applications... so unless you are doing something that involve designing then do not get! Just trying to help you guys out.

2. Why is everyone saying Windows 8 is trash? Do you even have it? I have it and I have no problems with it and i personally thinks it's better than windows 7. Also, to those complaining about the tablet boxes... you do not have to see it. You're not force to deal with it at all. You can stay in desktop mode. So I do not see the problem.

3. How is windows 8 broken?

4. Windows 9 is a rumor... I personally think it will be something like 8.2 or 8.5. For them to go from a retro theme to a new theme within 2 - 4 years is stupid. Plus it's not like they are competing with anyone in the OS market. Windows will lead the word in OS until the virtual internet is created (futurama reference).


MAcbooks ARE NOT over priced. I dont think you realize what they are. Average PC lifespan-3-4 years. Average Mac lifespan=8-12 years. Also, OSX updates are now free. Also, the general consumer is going to want something that lasts. Im an Apple Product Professional. That is my real life job. so I think I know a little bit about the topic. People who say Macbooks are overpriced are the same people who end up buying 300 dollar HP laptops with Celeron CPUs. Please understand what you are getting with a Mac. Top end hardware, OS, customer support, lifespan and the latest tech. (Macbook Pro w/retina display uses a PCIe SSD, something no other PC sold in RETAIL stores offer)

I personally enjoy using windows 7 a lot more, I find it more user friendly. I don't think 8 is at all bad, it's just not as user friendly. Yes it takes time to get used to a new version of Windows but I find 7 a lot more efficient and appealing then 8. Everyone has their own opinions though and I respect that.

I think they should keep the original windows 7 theme. Its more open and easier to work with for me

G37 I hope it will be a little bit better than Windows 8, I absolutely hate the set up it has. Especially the boxes..


Yeah I hate windows 8 so for Microsofts sake they better make 9 and blue good. I'm already just going to by a MacBook Pro and Mac Pro


I'm saving up for both, ha. I'm not a fan of Windows anymore.

I liked having the traditional desktop where i could see it all. Windows 8 seemed weird to me... Hopefully windows 9 looks nice

Windows 8 was a bit of a letdown tbh they should combine metro and windows 7 together, would make that operating system sick aslo should have customization/
