At the BUILD developer conference in April 2014, Microsoft will discuss its vision for the future of Windows, including a year-off release codenamed 'Threshold' that will most likely be called Windows 9.

Let's hope they drop a whole lot more from Windows 8 than the name.

Metro 2.0? No, thanks. It seems I'll have to pass. My limit is one epic fail trying to make a tablet OS for PCs. Instant skip. Windows 10, please.

Taking the risk to get flamed by you guys, but... you'll not see MS stepping back from metro, imho.

Get used to it, like you did in the past with other things. Win8 is technically a pretty good product, although I neither like nor use metro. It will go "optional", but it will stay.

But but.. this is the UP TAKE RELEASE! You MUST like it! Razz

Anyway, no this was forecast a while ago this was the approach W9 was going: integrating desktop/tablets/phones into one single OS. Its inevitable.

@amra
The only option I am willing to accept if I can make a choice about metro at install time (take it or leave it as a whole).

@Thudo: Steam is working on that... Shouldn't be too hard if they give more resources to Wine. Once they're done, I'll grab their platform to play my Windows games Linux, and part from MS for good! Provided that their platform won't suck more, of course...

Indeed.. I am watching those STEAM developments.. Wink

Would be great if they could pull it off.

All they're doing is renaming Windows 8.2 to Windows 9. Lame.
