Looks like Microsoft is going to launch Windows 9 in April 2015. Apparently, the "Start" button returns.

Yes, both sales-driven and user-confusion driven. Windows 8.1 backtracked part of the way, to allow booting into the Desktop (thus rendering my $5 utility useless). I guess Windows 8 continued the pattern of one good, one not as good operating system with Me and Vista (though I personally had no problems with either).
It will be interesting to see who they choose to lead Microsoft next, and why.

I never cease to be amazed at how successful a company can be with so little common sense.

Firefox with its own Adblocker plugin, then webearch another little proggie called AdBlock Plus and install that, too.
Avast! free antivirus also now comes with its own adjustable blocker as well.
I run all three and even at that, things around the web load remarkably faster without having to wait for all the ad connects to happen.

It figures, Vista came out and I needed a new desktop, bang it's gone, I buy a laptop for Christmas, pow windows 8 out the door......... Actually, by the time they come out with the next latest and greatest OS, the previous one or two has finally had enough corrections and updates to actually work in most cases. That's been my experience across the board since the days of Win3.1 and Win95, man. Don't lament, just make sure you do go for any Service Packs and Critical Updates for the "mature" OS you have. Actually far less trouble than trying to make music on the latest and greatest where too many things are shipped nonworking or are waiting to go boom in the dark... --Mac

I'm using 7 Pro on a HP Z workstation and has been the most stable as a DAW for years.
Not looking to tip the boat just yet!
I still have my "Scuderia Cazzani in non layman's terms."
Happy jammin!

Um, s nice slow jazz Ballad?
Something along the lines of the Haydn Surprise Symphony maybe?
No, wait, I got it.
A Modern Country ditty that sounds more like a too cleanly recorded Motown tune from 1966.

After the convertible with the twin 350 V8'$, can't even imagine what owning a vessel like that does to the bank account, but anything aspirated with a blower like that looks like it might be FUN.
Horsepower,

She used to be my 3D animation machine and just loves 24bit session files with lots of .wav files and 64 bit plugs.
Just saying!

Now if they'll only extend support of XP until then, it might be a good business move.
I've got an W8 computer, and I don't mind it, but I still like W7 a bit better.

I honestly think that if Microsoft could have their way, they would actually do away with the desktop altogether and concentrate on Metro-style apps (sorry, I find that old more descriptive than Microsoft-store apps, which could be both desktop and/or Metro). That way, you can turn your $2,000 laptop into a $200 smart phone and run apps singularly (okay, they capitulated and let you run two at a time). I guess it's back to the days of MS-DOS with Borland Sidekick, just because of the "pad" craze.
Meanwhile, the rest of us use laptops and desktops to actually get work done, run multiple apps side by side and move seamlessly between them (try easy drag and drop on a Microsoft "pad").
Sales may be down on laptops and desktops in favor of portable devices, but there is still work that needs to be done on them. Microsoft now seems to be treating them as the new second class citizens.
Of course, sales of the Microsoft products have been abysmal (did they really think they were going to trump Apple and Google?) So let's throw a bone back to the desktop users and make up for lost revenue (Windows 9).
