    Seen it, used it, don't like it

    Windows Threshold exists

    Oh! what madness have they dropped this time?

    Windows 9 could exist - but doesn't.

    XP with an updated core PLEASE! They seem have touch screen mad, I for one don't like touch screens (banana fingers, scarred to heck) Vista was a disaster (I still have a completely new unopened OEM copy) Win7 better but not the XP killer. Win8 a halfway house between tablet/phone desktop OS, Why?:~

    Windows threshold is built on Windows 8 and is likely to be Windows 8.2 to bring back the old start menu and to make windows more like XP, I hope this makes Windows more enjoyable for you.

              you seem to care a lot about what they are calling the next version and what everyone else is calling it. Prior to the release of 8 people were calling it 8 despite the fact it hadn't been officially named and did that change the world? really if that is the only thing you have to worry about then just be thankful and stop trying to wind us up. I cannot understand why someone with the experience you claim to have would give a fig what they call the next version

                Heh, I never noticed that before. That's pretty weird, it was definitely marketed as a full version number not 'Vista.1' (Win 6 is Vista), and I'm pretty sure there were fairly major back end changes that justify 7 getting a proper version number bump.

                  Care factor 0 If it's a major release coming it will be called 9 until they release a final name for it. If it's really going to be 8.2 then the people talking about a major release would be wrong, but that's not about the name. Microsoft have never released a .2 Windows, though, unless you count service packs, so I wouldn't really expect an 8.2.

                    Given the way he goes on about stuff he knows nothing about, and can't even spell or use correct grammar, I seriously doubt he "runs three companies" (especially since in another post he said he runs two companies -- can't seem to keep his lies straight). What a moronic retard.

                                Then why did you post? Windows has never gone from Windows X to windows X.1 Windows 3.1 was the only other Windows to have a .1 and was only there to distinguish itself from 3.11 which was networking. The whole point of this is that no one at Microsoft has said Windows 9.

                                    Well I know things have to change, it's the way Win8 divorced itself from previous versions, there was no gradual change as there was 98-2000-XP-Vista(?)-XP-Win7 all those versions came with enough commonality after about an hour you could use them. Win8 WTF?, unlike previous versions you looked for Z in the old place, find Z some where else. Z was dead baby!

                                      That doesn't matter no What matters is reality and there is no Windows 9 in reality yet. So pull your head out of the clouds

                                        Well I know things have to change, it's the way Win8 divorced itself from previous versions, there was no gradual change as there was 98-2000-XP-Vista(?)-XP-Win7 all those versions came with enough commonality after about an hour you could use them. Win8 WTF?, unlike previous versions you looked for Z in the old place, find Z some where else. Z was dead baby!

                                        DOS to Windows was a big change.
