    Actually not until 2020.

        No. If it were in BETA, you couldn't buy it.

            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 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.

                        Here is what windows 9 is to look like, you'll notice it looks nothing like the threshold previews. http://www.pctipp.ch/fileadmin/media/bilder/artikelbilder/ubuntu_virtual_desktop_neowin.jpg[^]

                                  Oops! My mistake, the Drivel Ribbon is in Office. Hope they don't bring back the driveling paperclip. :-D

                                  It was broke, so I fixed it.

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

                                      - I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

                                        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.

                                        Seriously, whatever MS is paying you to do marketing for them, it's too much.

                                          "Windows Drivel" - that's the one with the Ribbon, isn't it? ;)
