Really? Do tell. Edit: See JSOP's post below.

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.
Not the point. The point was Microsoft DID get Windows 7 out as fast as possible to get rid of Vista because everyone (except you probably) hated it, leaving all those copies of Vista on the shelf to be wasted. It's happened before and it will happen again. Oh, that's right, it already did and it's called Windows 8. Everyone HATED it and the rush was on to get 8.1 out the door.

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.
Now you're just splitting hairs as to what it's name is going to be. NOBODY GIVES A SHIT! But, everyone considers it to be Windows version 9, just possibly with a name other than "9". This is the distinction that's making you look like a fool.

No, it's not. All he did was ask you a question. He didn't call you names or put you down in any way. Except maybe it was a "question" pointing to the fact that your exuberance for everything Windows is "over the top".

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.

That's not entirely true. First, those parties who "signed a contract" didn't, and even if they did they would have to show that their business was harmed by the release of the next generation of Windows. Considering MS goes through great lengths to maintain backward compatibility, that's very unlikely.

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.

Yes there was. It was called Vista and Server 2008.

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.
ok, so its literally just the name you're taking issue with? When I said 'Windows 9' I thought it obvious that just meant 'the next major release of Windows'. No idea what they'll actually call it :)

Windows 8 is running on Xbox. Recently Windows RT was put on the Windows Phone - in march. There is an article about Windows putting OneCore on all devices, well it was already done long ago. There is no such thing is windows 9.

So Microsoft is lying as well? Let me guess; when let out of the basement and not taking your medication, you walk around with tin foil hat. You are a loon. (In response to other assertions; Windows Vista & Server 2008 had the internal version number of 6.0. What is called Windows 8.1 has the internal version number of 6.3. It doesn't really matter. Microsoft could call the next major version, Windows Elephant and yet people will still refer to it as Windows 9. In the meantime, go back on your medication.)

Show me where Microsoft has declared windows 9, you wont because they haven't.

Windows 8.1 was the next major release of Windows after Windows 8. And thank you for confirming my point.

Dave KreskowiakAnd windows 7 is Windows 6.1 and Windows 8 is Windows 6.2. Not a marketing name.

Dave KreskowiakWindows 8 is actually Windows 6.2. The way people are putting up a stink by talking reality is proving that most programmers that follow the code program are full of shit, high on themselves, and trolls for insulting a person for pointing out that not even Microsoft is talking Windows 9.
