bassfisher6522 Posted August 2, 2014 Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 Windows 9 aka Threshold could be free to all users of windows 7 SP 1 and windows 8.1 update 1. http://www.zdnet.com/windows-threshold-more-on-microsofts-plan-to-win-over-windows-7-users-7000031070/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belatucadrus Posted August 2, 2014 Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 New interface is much more like it, Metro was always a dog egg with a clunky interface more suited to a child's smart phone with a really crap unresponsive touchscreen. To try and force it on desktop users just showed how badly they lost the plot at head-office. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan2273 Posted August 2, 2014 Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 Actually when I sorted out how to use Win 8 and managed to bypass that awful metro interface, it is not that bad, for desktop or laptop. I do see it being given for free to Win 8 users but not for Win 7 users, as they are trying to put Win 8, (Vista 2), out to pasture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grado Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 Free windows is Good. That will make the windows beat the Andoird and IOS in the Mobile market Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belatucadrus Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 Well it's apparently going to be Windows 10, they've decided to miss 9 and as to it being free the rumour is only as a free upgrade to W7 & 8 users with no official confirmation as to when or how long this will last. I forsee the price of a new copy of Windows on your mobile or tablet is still going to leave a price gulf between it and a rapidly improving Android. Add to that Firefox OS and some new mobile Linux distros things aint over yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
