Windows 9 |
As of right now, we expect to see
Windows 9 in a preview build as early as September 30. The latest report from The Verge
cites sources close to the matter with knowledge that press preview event will
take place on that date. There are no details of where the event will take
place or when exactly the preview build will be released, but we'll take it.
Microsoft communications chief Frank Shaw said the company wasn't ready to talk about how often Windows might come out when we spoke to him in January, but he agreed "you have certainly seen across a variety of our products a cadence that looks like that; Windows Phone is a good for example of that, our services are a good example of that".
We don't know if Windows 9 will be available as an upgrade from Windows 7 that you can buy as a standalone product or if you'll have to have Windows 8 to get the upgrade. But it may not be with us for a while yet – Windows business chief Tami Reller has talked about "multiple selling seasons" for Windows 8, meaning that we'll likely have several versions of it.
Some rumors have suggested late 2014 or early 2015 for a Windows 9 release, though the former seems wide of the mark. While claims and reports are all over the place, it seems like Windows 9 should drop before September 2015 at the latest.
In January 2014, well-known Microsoft blogger Paul Thurrott said he believes the company plans to release Windows 9 (codenamed Threshold) in April 2015, less than three years after Windows 8.
The thinking appears to be that the Windows 8 name is now too tarnished and that – in contrast to Reller's comments above – Microsoft wishes to clear things out by releasing Windows 9 instead.
ZDNet's Mary Jo Foley recently echoed these reports, citing sources pointing toward a spring 2015 release for Windows 9.
In May, prolific Microsoft leaker FaiKee released two separate documents that he or she claims to be Redmond's full roadmap for Windows 9 and other products. The first of which, released to the My Digital Life forums, pointed to text reading "Windows 9 Windows Preview Release @ 2015 02-03."
That appears to point toward a preview release of either February or March 2015. The second leak was caught by Myce.com, and is a bit more vague in timing but less so in the actual text. That alleged official document detailed a preview release between Q2 and Q3 2015, so by September of next year at the latest.
In June, we learned from a ZDNet source that Microsoft would launch a preview build of the latest Windows in the fall. But most recently, WZOR struck again with a rumor that Windows 9 in full will launch in that same time frame. Naturally, a Microsoft representative snapped back at the rumor on Twitter.

How much will Windows 9 cost?
Not a cent. At least that's what Russian leaker collective WZOR claims to
have heard. The group reports that Microsoft is considering pushing out Windows
9 for free, but cannot confirm at this time.
What the collective has heard exactly is that a prototype
version is in the works in which a barebones version of Windows 9 will be
available for free. For additional functionality, users would have to pay up
through a subscription.
That said, ZDNet's Foley has heard the opposite: different
SKUs of Windows will be offered for free or at different prices to OEMs and
consumers, but that the desktop version will indeed have a sticker price. A
recent, subsequent leak provided by WZOR seems to not only
corroborate Foley's sources, but render its previous report moot.

In the last
Microsoft earnings call CFO Peter Klein made it clear that Microsoft has got
the message that Windows 8 tablets need to be cheaper; "we know that
our growth depends on our ability to give customers the exciting hardware they
want, at the price-points they demand."
Another revealing
Microsoft job advert talks about having Windows Phone and Windows RT apps run
on both Windows Phone and Windows – it's no secret that Microsoft wants to
unify things in this area.
"Do you wish
the code you write for Windows Store apps would just work on the Windows Phone
and vice versa? If so, then this is the role for you! We are the team leading
the charge to bring much of the WinRT API surface and the .NET Windows Store
profile to the Phone."
That sounds like
a longer term goal, given that the job advert was on the Microsoft Careers site
at the beginning of February 2012, and it's being driven by the Windows Phone
team, but it could give developers an incentive to write apps for the Windows
Store and give Windows 9 users more to choose from. Scaling apps to fit
different size screens would help here too.
