FaiKee? Really?
Hopefully they took windows 7, tweaked the kernal to make it faster, and then took a sharpie to the box of windows 7 and turned the 7 into a 9....
A tech girl can dream..
Windows 9 8 Is Coming Next Year And Will Fix A Lot Of Problems With Windows 8 7...
Windows 8.1 is a free upgrade to Windows 8, and it works great. I have no problems with it. It runs every piece of old software that I used to run in Vista32.
Yeah, riiiiiight.
Of course they are working on it. Probably just a tentative (preview) release date. The date will probably slip. They usually do.
In before the Microsuck Fanboi’s claim it will revolutionize all computing and drive all other OS out of existence!
I forgot who it was here who quipped, “Linux....the ultimate Windows service pack”.
I run Ubuntu on my computer, and it works fine; I’ve never had a problem with it.
Also, with the new IOS Office 365 apps, I am very happy with my mixed ecosystem for now.
They should have delayed the release of Windows 8 until all these bugs were fixed.
I hope it is XP with renewed support. Windows 8 is terrible.
I used to be an Apple guy until the Apple CEO got all political, telling his shareholders to sell their Apple holdings if they are climate “deniers”. What a shame! I hope that Microsoft gets its act together and puts together software that works with no bugs, and actually user friendly for a change.
Heck, I can’t even keep Windows 8 which came with this PC a year or so ago from having to System Restore every month or so. Keeps me all wee-wee’d up.
So we’re going to get a newer version of an OS that has never operated without being patched, reworked, renamed, and resold with each new iteration as the best thing since the B-707.
And the Chinese already have knowledge of this possible release why? Because their hackers are better than ours? Or because MS is still supporting their copies of XP until 2015 which MS wont do for the rest of us. Is MS by doing so supporting the Chinese military’s evil expansion?
Stay tuned and drink your Ovaltine.
If they’re committed to “one user experience” and “Metro” that means Windows 9 will still have a touchscreen interface on a desktop or laptop computer. That was the fundamental error in Windows 8. The two user experiences are quite different and cannot successfully be forced into one, no matter how pretty it looked to Ballmer in a Powerpoint presentation four years ago.
Sounds fake (faikee) to me.
The new versions always seem to build on the mistakes of the old.
Tech “journalism” has devolved into nothing but click-bait headlines based on meaningless “leaked” info with a faulty premise of “[fixing] A Lot Of Problems With Windows 8”...
[Which never explains what those problems are]
All to draw out the usual clown car of Linux, Apple, and XP users to see who can out-do each other in screaming about how terrible Windows 8 is and how what they use is so brilliant.
It almost makes MSNBC look like real news.
