Advice Request Windows 8 Rumoured Release Date and Windows 9 Speculation!

[Exorcizm]

A new rumor making its way through the Internet's tubes suggests that we might actually see a commercial release for Windows 8, Microsoft's next operating system (OS), as early as next August. What's even more surprising is that Microsoft is said to have a Windows 9 release for late 2014.

The rumor comes to us in the form of a leaked roadmap available through the minimalist tech blog "MS Nerd." The roadmap reveals Microsoft's tentative plans for future releases and, as usual, the greatest interest has been drawn to the company's popular operating systems.

It will happen there will be Windows 9.

Yes, but speculated for 2 years later
We all know Windows will forever pump out new OS'

Just a matter i time until we find out when!

I wonder if they've started working on Windows 9 privately.. hmmm

 

[Nathan Wootton]

They are planing 9 already? 8 not even out yet talk about wanting money! on the flipside maybe windows 9 will be aimed more to desktops than eight thats not to say windows 8 is just for tablets, but in my eyes in seems optimized for tabs

They probably have started to make it already. Well I think of the look of Windows 8 and feel of it. Windows 9 might be the same so I will stick with Windows 7.

Agreed!!!

I'm really hoping they re-write alot of the code! and have a new GUI, i really would endorse that and support it!

DESKTOP OPERATING SYSTEMS FTW!!! <3

I guess, Windows 9 will be 100% different from the windows GUI 8.
why I can say like that?
take a look it, the most successful Windows XP than Windows Vista, but few users are switching to vista (including me) once windows 7 is launched, most users will instantly change vista to 7.

will be such that,
Windows 8 at launch, will be slightly moved to windows 8. they will be wait windows 9. "Maybe" is definitely a tablet users use windows 8. but, a PC or, notebooks and even netbooks? It was a small possibility to move from windows 7 to windows 8, the same as the launch of Windows Vista.

I won't be switching to Windows 8 in a hurry unless they change the look and make it that the UI is compatible with tablet PCs and desktop computers. I feel that tablet PCs still have a long way to go and desktops are the future.

You have my vote there, both of you, this is how i feel and think about this

Assuming I'm understanding you correctly, I don't think so.

People jumped to Windows 7 because Vista was a disappointment. Microsoft has those sometimes. Most of you probably don't remember Windows ME, but it was also a huge disappointment.

People will jump to Windows 9 if Windows 8 sucks. It's as simple as that.

I totally agree. +rep

XP was good in its day same with Vista but now we have to look forward and look on what the future can bring.

 

[win7holic]

however, it will not happen to 7 users.
Users who have have experienced the failure of Vista (and, not going to waste money by buying windows 8) will wait for windows 8 reviewers review the features, performance, and possibly repair the GUI? who knows?
if many people like the window 8 more and more, they will switch 7 to 8. if NOT, wait for windows 9 launched.

 

[McLovin]

I don't think they will switch. It all depends on the UI it has because if it is built for tablets I think people will wait until it is built for desktop computers instead of tablets.

that's why i said like this:

[Nathan Wootton]

my point exactly

 

[McLovin]

Yeah, hope they do fix the UI.

I think that the log in screen actually looks quite good.

I likes it also.
1 thing don't likes is the color.
