Microsoft has announced a press event for September 30th in San Francisco to talk about the next version of Windows. While the invite does not specifically call out Windows 9, it is fully believed that the company will be announcing its new operating system at this event.

Currently referred to internally by the codename Windows Threshold, many, including ourselves, believe that Microsoft will call the project Windows 9.

A focus of the event will be about the enterprise too, which is not a surprise, considering the lack of enthusiasm from large corporations to deploy Windows 8. Look for Microsoft to talk directly to these partners about Windows 9 and how the specifically listened to enterprise feedback to build this version of Windows.

With the event a little over two weeks away, we won't have to wait long for Microsoft to talk about all the new features that are coming to the platform.

I sometimes wish I liked Apple. Microsoft Windows 9 is going to be weak in many aspects.

• Most importantly : No OS is stronger than its weakest module (that's the geeky way to say). If customers complain of it being "mobile-like", then it is probably "mobile-like". If they complain they want a Windows 7-like GUI, then they should probably create a Windows 7-like GUI.
• Windows 8.0's support ends in less than two years : This is ridiculous. It was only released less than two years ago. Only three years of support for a whole new OS, is ridiculous. Windows 8.1's main feature was the start menu. Some people do not have the money so they do not buy Windows 8, therefore (are) unable to upgrade to 8.1. Marketing technics == "Microsoft".
• Releasing a new OS in two years : They might as well as have new CEOs every day.
