Microsoft to share Windows Threshold plans at Build 2014 show: Report

[Brink]

Microsoft's Windows team may share its high-level plans for its next-generation Windows 'Threshold' release at its upcoming Build developers show, according to a new sourced report.

It looks like those Threshold tipsters were right on the money about Microsoft's next-generation Windows release.

According to a January 11 report from Windows SuperSite's Paul Thurrott, Microsoft Threshold looks to be a spring 2015 release wave. Specifically, if Microsoft sticks to schedule, Threshold should crest around April 2015, Thurrott said he's been told by his own sources.

Microsoft is going to disclose its Threshold plans at a "vision" level at its Build conference in San Francisco in April 2014, Thurrott said. If this happens, it'll be a back to the future moment -- and one that will be welcomed by many in Microsoft's developer and user communities. Microsoft's Windows division finally will begin sharing at least some details about its future Windows plans publicly again.

In addition to further unifying Windows and Windows Phone, the Threshold release also will feature the 2.0 version of Microsoft's "Metro" user interface/design language, Thurrott is reporting.

This is discouraging. It looks like it will be Windows 8.2 instead of Windows 9 as most of us hoped.

From web rumors I've read Win 9 will be mid 2015 ...
There is a "sister site" for Win 9 ... probably better info here
