Launch the Windows 9 preview this autumn

According to ZDNet, a veteran of Microsoft Dynamics Mary Chow Flies (Mary Jo Foley), the Windows 9 preview will be launched in September or October. According to this progress, the final version of Windows 9, codenamed "Threshold", is likely to enter the market formally in early 2015.

The era of Windows 8 is not just about ending, it's going to the end.

As I wrote last weekend, as Windows 9 seems to be accelerating into the market, it's time to start saying goodbye to Windows 8. By the time Windows 9 Preview is open, Windows 8 users will be able to quickly taste the early adopters, provided there are not too many problems with the preview version.

The end of the Windows 8 era is both appropriate and unfair. Windows 8 itself will soon be replaced, but at the same time many of the elements it brings to the market still exist. As TechCrunch, we all know that Microsoft intends to push desktop features in Windows 9:

"We could be in an office 2007 situation where Microsoft has transformed the paradigm of office, added a lot of attempts to maintain the majority of its functionality, and launched Office 2010, culminating in success." If Microsoft is able to preserve the good elements of Windows 8, incorporating a series of powerful desktop-centric updates that highlight different features depending on the device size, the company should be able to make a good operating system. ”

There are, of course, many "hypothetical" factors in this.

According to Foley's message, we know that getting started with Windows 9 is not a distant thing. On the contrary, according to her schedule, Windows 9 preview could enter the market in another 9-10 weeks.

How exactly did Windows 8 come into being since it was launched? Data shows that Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 share more than 12% of the market. In other words, there are currently about 1 Windows 8 or Windows 8.1 systems running on every 9 PCs. Windows 8.1 is more popular than Windows 8, which occupies less than 6% of the PC market.

It is a great concern that Windows 9 eats up the share of Windows 8, and how quickly it eats. Windows 8 's performance in robbing Windows 7 shares has been less than satisfactory.

I am curious: If you are a Windows user, will you upgrade from Windows 7 or Windows 8 to Windows 9?
