          Windows Threshold and Windows 9 are two separate products. Threshold which has been dubbed 9 while it never been officially called such is due to be the next update for Windows 8.

          The problem with rodent infestations is that you can never be completely rid of them. A bit like Windows 9, and Moon Landing deniers.

              Windows 9 actually translates to "Windows No" which means no more Windows. So Windows 7 was the last version Microsoft will support. Microsoft is not going to make any more Windows....just doors.

                          If there was a Beta version then it does exist, but there is not a Beta version. Even still Beta products such as Threshold are not labelled as windows 9, Threshold exists, and a concept that has no desktop at all that could be windows 9 with the ability to spin up any windows version as a virtual desktop and use them as windows - does exist. Also there is a Windows 9 Logo that was leaked <- the made up Logo exists. So far people go on about Windows 9 like people go on about UFO's - don't get ahead of yourself.

                            No. That's Windows Broken you're thinking of. Drivel is Office. Let's not forget that Visual Studio is Bloat and Windows Phone is Death Spiral. There, I hope that clears up any confusion.

                                          If your opinion about a product is biased towards a company, you'll never be able to grasp truth.
