The pieces fall into place.
Tuesday, 19th August 2014 – 9:46
Now that the development of Windows 9 / “Threshold” is well underway, leaking increasingly more interesting information.
From before we know that Windows 9 will have the opportunity to run Modern UI apps on the desktop, support for virtual desktops, and a whole new start menu.
Test this fall, purchase until spring
Now it Neowin, not Mary Jo Foley, who has gained a little more information about Microsoft’s strategy fremvoer, and the pieces seem to fall into place slowly but sure.
As we previously reported, it is expected a universal test version of Windows 9 already this fall, while the final version is expected to be completed by spring 2015.
The former is quite fresh information, while rumors of a spring launch has circulated for many months already.
Charms Toolbar
news that Charms toolbar disappears, revealed earlier in August but now we know a little more.
According to Neowin disappears from the desktop, but in versions that are being built by Microsoft as of this writing, it lives on in the Modern UI, but the design is different, and it’s moved on.
The final design, Microsoft has probably not decided yet.
Metro 2.0
What about the new Modern UI, that Metro 2.0?
Neowin claims Microsoft is very secretive regarding the new design (naturally enough), but they barely have begun to hear whispers about bits and bobs from people with knowledge of the development.
” Know that there are updates, but we’re not quite ready to share that information yet, “according to Neowin.
Dropped Update 2 plans
plan was to introduce the new start menu in Update 2 for Windows 8.1, but this fresh update turned out to be pretty boring, and no new start menu found their way to this.
Microsoft reportedly flipped, and instead focuses on the implementation of the Windows 9 or “Threshold.”
Windows 8.2 or Windows 9
There are still uncertainties regarding “Threshold” and Windows 9.
Will the “Threshold” as the last major update to Windows 8, and then raise the version number of Windows 8.2, or jumping Microsoft right a new brand, ie Windows 9?
We have the most faith in last mentioned because the changes are large, and the fact that Windows 8 is not a strong brand, but we can not confirm or deny any of the scenarios.
Cortana for Windows
There is also speculation about Cortana is the way to Windows.
According to Neowin wants namely Microsoft to implement personal assistant in Windows, so that it can help you across all platforms: Windows, Xbox, Windows Phone and tablets.
It’s logical: When it becomes even more useful.
