Windows 8 came out in 2012. But like any company who makes software they would have started planning for next release.

Why? Arn't they meant to make everyone like the current version so everyone hates the next version?

Well like your Apple products they also update their software. It's about bringing new features, capability, bug fixes and also to make money.

They will probably learn over their mistakes with 8 as they did a lot of management/staff changes.

It's not like it's being released after a year.

I'm just trying to explain why companies do this so they have a better understanding. Apple would have already started work on their next version of iOS and OSX. Once they have finished with one product or software release they will get part of their team to start working on the "Next major release" while also still supporting and fixing their current release.

So really there should be no surprise that Windows 9 will be released in 2015 or after.

I know what you mean and I understand why they do it... it seems to be working for them since they're worth billions and I find it hard to find £5! I just don't like windows now... it has changed like loads... like all the stuff I've seen doesn't remind me of any older versions but meh!! MONEY FOR THE WIN!

Yeah I get you, I'm not getting you to like Windows either haha.

Anyway for anyone who wants an actual article on this rumour: http://www.theverge.com/2014/1/11/52...ril-2015-rumor

8.1 is now out which bought back the start button, NOT menu.

8.2 is due out in a few months.

9 will probably be next year, Microsoft have already confirmed they're changing to a yearly release cycle.

The start menu won't be coming back.

Get used to Windows 8, it's actually a lot better than 7 was so quit yapping.

I'm still using Windows 7. I dislike 8 and will probably end up moving to a Mac in future before installing 8 or 9.
