    Well, even "Windows 7" tells me it's really "Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]" . :rolleyes: It's just a frickin' name; it just doesn't matter.

    You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

      I run three companies, find time for my children, type on here, learn programming in swift, and still have 3 days off a week.

          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.

                                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.

                                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

                                        ok we get it, you don't think the next version of windows will be called 9, however until they release the actual name than we will call it 9 so everyone else realises what we are talking about

                                        You cant outrun the world, but there is no harm in getting a head start Real stupidity beats artificial intelligence every time.

                                        I said windows 9 could exist, and might very well exist, but right now it doesn't

                                          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

                                          We don't have SkyNet yet either; so what?

                                          You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.
