Windows 9

Folks, there are already a few Windows 9 threads going, and I thought that I'd add one here.

Windows 9

An obscure blogger claims that he saw a secret Microsoft roadmap, showing that Windows 9 would be released in late 2014. He shows actual scheduled technology conferences that will be used to show betas and pre-release versions.

He's probably making the whole thing up, but his schedule is an interesting source of speculation.

But this one isn't speculation: Windows 9 will not have a 32 bit version. Period. Microsoft warned developers three years ago that in another six years they would drop 32 bit completely. As of now, NO company is manufacturing 32 bit hardware.

The people behind that site are also behind Windows 8 News and Windows 7 News.

I already have a copy of Windows 25. Holograms, thought control, all the stuff you would expect.

It also deducts 25% of my income and sends it to MS.

i think Microsoft will not choose same names and numbers again and again and it wont be like Windows 9, 10, 11 and so on... they would choose a different name instead after Windows 8..

You're probably right. MS is usually working at least two OSs in advance. They had begun work and even had full-time employees for Windows 8 before 7 was released.
