    So what? In either case in order to sue them you have to be able to demonstrate irreperable harm to your company by the release of the next version of Windows. Frankly, if that is the case, you actually screwed yourself because you didn't take this well-known possibility into account in your own business model.

      You're the only one who gives a crap what the marketing name is. No matter what MS Marketing calls the next major version of Windows, we all refer to it as "Windows 9", just as if it was a project name.

          "windows 9" is generally understood by everyone except, perhaps, you, to refer to the next major release of Windows. It's internal version will presumably be 6.3 It may be called Windows 9 or it may be called Fred - whatever, i'ts easier to say "Windows 9" than "The next major release of Windows regardless as to what it's called"

          Only self proclaimed computer experts are saying Windows 9. Windows 8.1 was the next major release of windows after windows 8 and they are purposely not saying windows 9 they are saying the next major release of windows, I wonder why!!!

            I'm not entirely sure what your point was tbh. I'm sure there will be another major release of Windows on the horizon. What it'll be called, I'm not sure. I think Windows 9 is sort of the generic term for it right now :)

              Sorry Vista (2006) to Windows 7 (2009) was 3 years like Windows 7 (2009) to Windows 8 (2012) I knew they were the same time frame just didn't remember how long. But still proves my point dick.

                So you admit this wasn't you "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." And no I said by that logic Windows 7 was a failure, or do you not understand what you said.

                Oh I understand perfectly. Where in that quoted statement did I say that "Vista was a failure"? Yeah, it got to 20% share. What did XP have at the time?

                    Like I said, everyone (but you) refers to the next version of Windows as "Windows 9", no matter what the real name ends up being. You said "Windows 9 doesn't exist". Well, everyone takes that to mean that you don't believe there's going to be a next major version of Windows and, hence, all the problems you have with everyone in this entire discussion.

                      Or it could very well be Windows 9. What's the big deal? Why are you worried about what they call it?

                        Microsoft is calling it the next release of windows without saying 9 for a reason, when any company has avoided such a thing in the past - it is to avoid an uproar when the public finds out they are not getting what they expect.

                          Nedella refers to Threshold as the next major version of windows and does not refer to it as windows 9, anyone that has done so - does so to keep the crowd believing the same bullshit they are believing without lying about it.

                            XP and Windows 7 are copies of Windows 95 and 98 with added features. Windows Longhorn, Windows Vista, Windows 8 and Windows Threshold, are all based on the dot net framework, a completely different paradigm. Both Windows 3.11 line which became NT 4.0, and Windows 3.1 which became Windows 95, were able to mix easily back into Windows XP aka Windows Experienced - which was the end all be all of that era. This era needs to die and keeping it around to keep people like you happy is the dumbest thing ever. Windows Threshold is a feature release of Windows 8, and unless they are out to piss people off they will make it Windows 8.2. Furthermore my point with all of this is that the Code Project I first saw as an official source of news, and yet officially Windows 9 has not been declared by Microsoft.

                                    Ouch - that hurts. You should probably ask someone that cares enough to respond how to get a user such as myself banned from the site. I've been here for almost 14 years, and have well over 500k reputation points, meaning I'm one of the highest contributing members here. And if you think I'm abusive today, you shoulda been here 10 years ago. So, as has already been stated, "good luck with that". Retard.

                                      I suspect there isn't that much to it. The next version will be called something, I just don't see the naming as being terribly significant. The important thing will be seeing what ends up actually being in it, not what its called.

                                        If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.-John Q. Adams
                                        You must accept one of two basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not alone in the universe. And either way, the implications are staggering.-Wernher von Braun
                                        Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.-Albert Einstein
