    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.

    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.

          My point is Windows 8 exists Windows Threshold exists Windows 9 could exist - but doesn't. And anyone that can't admit that is full of shit.

            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.

                      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.

                                        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 sure I would call 8.1 a major update. I would think it would be better classified as an SP, along the lines of XP SP2.

                                          My point is Windows 8 exists Windows Threshold exists Windows 9 could exist - but doesn't. And anyone that can't admit that is full of shit.

                                          I looked again at your original post to see what I was missing. I think I got it now. You're referring to the underlying version numbers used by Windows right? i.e. the below link? MSDN Operating System Version The version numbers there are obviously a completely different thing than the product naming used. Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 9, etc. There's no reason 6.4 couldn't be called Windows 9. So are you just nit-picking about the difference between the internal version numbers and the product names?
