    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.

    As I've said elsewhere, you're a moron. And you're projecting how you feel others think of you onto the rest of the programmer community. Moronic. Get. Into. Rehab. Now.

      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.

      No matter how many times you spout the same crap, doesn't affect the fact you are talking crap. Repeated outbursts don't affect reality, no matter how far your fingers are stuffed in your ears.

        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.

              Well, XP lasted for quite some time, so Windows 9 might too I guess :) Anyway, not sure when but I'm guessing the release of Windows 9 is going to happen.

                Is this some kind of hipster "stream of consciousness" thing or is English not your native language? BTW - Its common knowledge that Microsoft (and Apple and Google) are already working on the "next" OS when they release any given OS. As for Windows 9 simply being a way to get money... there is some evidence that Microsoft may make it a free upgrade from Windows 7, 8 and 8.1. Given that Apple has moved to free upgrades on OS X it's not without precedent.

                  There was evidence that windows 8 would be free to windows 7 users but it was not. I am not denying the existence of the next OS, I am denying the existence of Windows 9. There was no Windows 6, it was called vista and the Next Version may very well simply be OneCore, but it is also likely to be Windows 8.2, but not windows 9. I learned to program in C before I mastered English.

                    There was no Windows 6. There is more evidence that the next version will be called Windows OneCore or Windows 8.2 then there is it being called Windows 9.

                      Anyone that has built a company developing windows 8 apps and signed a contract with Microsoft for them to continue the platform cares and would probably sue Microsoft for breaking that contract by releasing windows 9.

                        Windows Vista had 20% of the Windows OS market share up until Windows 8, is the basis for windows 8 and is the basis for the future of Microsoft, Vista is still making Microsoft Money.

                          Well actually I am doubting that the next operating system will be windows 9 as well, it will probably have a name like vista or XP, if its not windows 8.2 so I guess I am already decided that was wrong.

                                Cut and pasting a large block of fairly meaningless text in multiple replies to multiple messages with only a slight change is very close to being classed as spam.

                                          This is spam, someone replying to their own post is called an auto response.
