          True, but I've never seen his level of denial before. Even the most zealous Linux, Android, Apple, Microsoft, Blackberry, etc... fanbois don't deny that there is a "next version" coming out in the "not too distant" future. This is really quite remarkable.

                That's because he isn't an "MS fanboi". He is a "Windows 8" fanboi - even more fanatical!

                  After Windows 9 is released, you'll need to update this to read, "There is no Windows 10" :)

                    If I am correct which I may not be windows 9 will exist in 2022. Which is I am correct will go to show how full of shit the average programmer is.

                        That's true. It may also exist in 2015.

                          The rumors of Windows 9 existed shortly after windows 8 originally had been released, the features in threshold were suppose to be in windows 8.1 update, and Microsoft Virtual Academy videos eluded to consecutive roll out releases before Windows 8.1 and has further continued that trend with the 8.1 update, going to windows 9 is done so only for one reason; to have all the users of windows to pay money to Microsoft, these tactics in threshold are being put in place to try to better market windows 8. There is no spoon is prefect because just like in the matrix - it's all in your head.

                                    Windows Threshold is the features for the next major version, said Nedella which is going to be Windows 8.2 unless he wants to piss people off by having to rebuy an OS - 8.2 is going to be the next version which is backed by the companies push to get people to desire windows 8.

                                      The rumors of Windows 9 existed shortly after windows 8 originally had been released, the features in threshold were suppose to be in windows 8.1 update, and Microsoft Virtual Academy videos eluded to consecutive roll out releases before Windows 8.1 and has further continued that trend with the 8.1 update, going to windows 9 is done so only for one reason; to have all the users of windows to pay money to Microsoft, these tactics in threshold are being put in place to try to better market windows 8. People create bullshit to try to control companies, later to learn they are just full of shit.

                                      But they've done that since the beginning so I don't see why so upset now.

                                      There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

                                        That's because he isn't an "MS fanboi". He is a "Windows 8" fanboi - even more fanatical!

                                        - I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

                                          It would be a waste of money to have all that windows 8 product in stores to go to waste buy releasing a new version of windows, my main issue is that programmers are seen by the rest of the world as full of shit and how people go on about a product that does not exist yet confirms that in the hearts of people.
