Windows 9 in works
Windows 8 on a Samsung tablet.The next major Windows release is likely to be called Windows 9 and will be launched in April 2015.
This is according to serial Microsoft leaker Paul Thurrott of WinSuperSite.com.
The website reports that Microsoft will shed more light on Windows 9, currently codenamed 'Threshold', at its BUILD conference in April.
Microsoft is also set to introduce the ability for Metro apps to run in a window on the desktop and a tweaked start menu, the website claims.
However, before Windows 9 is out of the door, Microsoft will issue Windows 8.1 Update 1, a comparatively minor update that is set for release later this year.
Windows 8 saw a mixed reception upon its release in 2012. On the one hand, it was praised for its speed and reduced system requirements but it was also criticised for omitting the start button and introducing a new touch-enabled UI.
