It might very well be only a rumor, but where there is smoke,
there’s fire; and what we’re hearing is that the
next version of Windows, Windows 9, is already in the works.
That’s only logical, as it does take Microsoft a
while to get their things together, in spite of erstwhile
Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer saying that rapid
deployment of their products is integral to their success.
So, while the company is still “forcing” people to update to
Windows 8.1, even
pushing
back the initial deadline it set for updating, rumors about Windows
9 are already starting to make the
rounds.
This particular piece of info comes from infamous leaker FaiKee,
who posted a screenshot in MyDigitalLife’s forum
If you’re thinking that image says 02-03 and not Q2-Q3, you can
be forgiven. That was my initial reaction
as well, but the Windows
9 leaker has tweeted to
clarify, saying:
Upto now, I could only
see Neowin News said the correct thing: It is Q2-Q3, not 02-03, nor Feb. 3,
2015. LOL.
While skepticism surely is understandable, FaiKee has been known
to leak such announcements way before
Microsoft releases the
official word. Perhaps this time, FaiKee is right once again. Although, whether
it’s 02-03 or Q2-Q3,
there’s still quite a long wait for Windows 9, to be sure. There are many other
analysts
and speculators who have made their own predictions as to when
the next version of the operating system
will be released, and they vary. The only common thing: it will
be in 2015.
In the meantime, you’ll have to be content with Windows 8 and
make sure that you update before Microsoft
puts the hammer down and decides not to extend its deadline
anymore.
Given the long waiting time we have ahead of us, what do you
want to see in Windows 9? What do
you want to be
exterminated from Windows 8?
