Microsoft confirms Windows 9 launch accidentally

Microsoft confirms Windows 9 launch accidentally

France President Alain Crozier accidentally revealed that Windows 9 will be launched next week. The software giant is now trying to cover that up a bit by clarifying that Crozier was referencing to next week's event that will show the future of Windows and that there is no such thing as Windows 9, of course.

lain Crozier, the President of Microsoft France, today became the first executive in the company to use the term "Windows 9" publicly to describe the next version of Windows.

Crozier made the statement as part of a company press event today that was live-streamed and is now available to watch on the Microsoft France website. During his presentation, he said, "Last year we had Windows 8. In the next few minutes, the next few days, we'll be releasing Windows 9." Crozier is likely referring to the press event scheduled to be held September 30, a week from today, in San Francisco, where the company is supposed to offer the first details on the next version of Windows and how it will help its enterprise customers.

I think it's only about the event on 30th.

I hope we'll learn what will be the upgrade paths from XP, 7, and 8(.1). Maybe it won't be that expensive.

As much as I want Windows 9 I don't think they will release it now. It's gonna be an announcement event and probably a technical preview. I think we gonna have Windows 9 to buy next year.

You pretty much posted what the whole internet has. Everyone knows the 30th is going to be a preview and 2015 is going to be the release date...

Windows 8.1 (not  8) has been a total ****ing nightmare for me, it felt rushed, poorly designed and not tested properly.

SP1 for 8.1 has fixed a lot of stuff that should've been there from the start but it still smells a bit lemony to me.

Part of me wants to get onto 9 as fast as possible but the other part worries that MS have rushed it and will screw it up again.

You got to remember that at the current stage of the Windows Threshold (9) build, the UI is not final as they don't finalize it until later in the development. The good news is that if you don't like it, you can give feedback to Microsoft in a constructive matter and they could fix it since now they've decided to listen to consumers again.
