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.

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

As long as they get rid of that box style interface of an OS, I'm interested in seeing more of this. I've used Windows 7 for quite a while and I hope Windows 9 will allow me to finally start using something that could potentially be good.

TrueHardcoreGamer windows is so lame & broken they have to come out with windows 9. i have pro hackers in my family & they even say not to install/buy windows 8 cause its so garbage. and if a pro hackers tells you window 8 is garbage u kno he telling the truth.


you are probably the most retarded person i have ever seen online. coming out with some new doesn't mean something is lame and broken. Are you 9? And a OS is more or less personal preference

j8ke im still on windows 7 lmao


Same, some people are still on Vista tho, so think about them lol


Oh god vista aha. I'm still on Windows 7 as well and I think it's a lot better than 8.


Vista is horrible, just thinking about it gives me the creeps DXXXX


Most business's still use Vista, because of the Business version of it. Vista is far from a horrible OS, it's just not as good as the one you're used to.

My uncle still uses XP for gods sake aha.

Windows 9 is pushing it to far, the only way I'll upgrade is if they get back to basics and put more features in that aren't "touch friendly". Does my head in.
