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.

Dorkus I didn't like windows 8 AT ALL. I hope windows 9 is a cranked up version of windows 7.


Windows 7 is **** compared to Windows 8. I'm so tired of people who complain that Windows 8 sucks because of the boxes and how it looks. Who gives a ****. It's much more stable and a lot faster than Windows 7 will ever be.


A lot faster my ****. It is slightly better at a few more things than Windows 7. If Microsoft didn't fix the GUI that wasn't broken, I can almost guarantee Win8 would have had a much better reception.


The GUI was broken. It was slightly better version of Vista's resource demanding whore. So they scrapped it completely and went with something a lot cleaner and simpler.

I find that Windows 8 is geared towards tablets or the convertable tablet/computer. I preffer to run Windows 7 on desktop as I find it easier to use, but I do like running Windows 8 on my Surface. Hopefully Microsoft gears Windows 9 towards the general population, rather than going for a tablet styled approach.

If it's anything like Windows 8, it's crap. IMO. Windows 7 was fine and they should've kept it that way.
