Rumors Around Windows 9
Periodically, Microsoft releases fresher versions of the Windows OS, trying to add some new functionality. Unfortunately, not all of the “experiments” had equal success in masses. Windows ME, Windows Vista, and Windows 8 were less welcomed by the customers than expected while Windows XP and Windows 7 proved to be rather profitable. A lot of people have their PCs running the latter two and do not want to migrate to W8. At the same time, we can find a positive tendency: Windows 9 can be predicted to turn out a good one after the W8 failure, but the work to be carried out is impressive (as it was with Windows Vista and Windows 7).
It is hard to foresee when the new operating system will be released (rumors say the stable version is coming this fall) or what it will feature, but there exist some expectations upon that. When Windows 8 came out with its Metro-style interface, we missed the classic Start Button, were not completely pleased with the way the applications could be accessed and found some other minor things, which each of us classified as not-so-comfortable ones. All these merged into a “wish” list for the upcoming Windows 9. Here are some points from it.
First of all, the above mentioned Start Button. When Windows 8 came out, a lot of third-party add-ons appeared which were said to bring back the old-style menu. It would be a release to officially have that functionality back. The habit to use that was drilled by years and years with older versions of the OS, why not to return it?
Secondly, not all screens equally welcome the Metro style. Large displays make the tiles look ridiculous: too colorful and enormous. It would be great if something could be done about that, at least the possibility to manage that manually.
One more thing to mention are the Gadgets, which were very useful, though said to be not very safe. The calendar and CPU meter were welcomed on the desktop, providing the information of interest right before your eyes.
Of course, the desires are far more than those enumerated here, and the Internet is full of them, including the long promised higher battery life and awaited gesture control, but not all of them are to become true. Like it was with the previous Windows releases when not all officially enumerated features saw the life. Besides, the official media is quiet upon the issue, so it is wise to wait until the official announcement is made in order not to get disappointed with the result.
Combination of Android & OS, including W7.
I expect it run like speed of light or it suitable for any processor. In Win8, many apps do not work.
That is right.
The end of Metro.
The ability to use an old program that came out around Windows 95 and 98 eras that were 16-bit written, because I've noticed that this facility is not enabled in Windows 8, and that when I installed such a program, it asked me that this "should" be activated to continue.
I also feel this built-in "invisible" facility could be improved, but not removed.
I would want it for free for W8 users
I want to try Windows 9.
Hope it'll be good.
Intelr(R)82801FBM USB.
Common.
I think it will be nice.
Very good and with nice looks.
I like that.
What's the hell it is?
I'd tell you that the true Windows 9 is awesome.
Much secure.
Much better environment than Windows 8 has.
I expect it will be better than W8 and other OS.
More applications and inbuilt soccer games.
Personal features and gadgets.
Finally, a good operating system which is not restricted by Microsoft completely is supposed to be user friendly. And you pay for the thing.
Good.
I don't like Win 8 materials.
Free games.
Very good but don't use W9 mobiles and tablets.
Many apps to download.
Good.
I expect that Windows 9 will be in better condition compared to Windows 8.
Fine.
Much better.
More suites.
Awesome.
Very good.
I think it is easier than Windows 8.1
CV.
Show the full features.
Сhanges of Windows App Store and apps look like in Andriod smartphones! We want a complete change not like 8 or 8.1. Thanks.
Add Google Play Store to download apps.
I think better than Windows 8.
Expectations from Microsoft
)
All I want from Win-9, is a... Win-7 Ultimate with the latest drivers and a tool to eliminate failure 1935 automatically. Fix-It is only good to shredder the PC.
It would be nice if we could download apps for Mac and iOS.
I am really waiting for it. I think it's going to be a great OS.
It would be great if it would run smoothly like XP did - I still love that OS
What I would like is to be able to upgrade and not lose my downloaded programs, etc.
I also have a moan about the way Microsoft demand my personal details or they will shut down my Windows OS. It appears that they are acting as if they OWN my pc but I pay for it and the OS, the same as I pay for groceries. Surely I have a right to do what I want with it, for instance, have two different OS systems running in partitions so that I can play games that used to run OK in XP. Why am I not allowed to do this? Why can't I do what I want with my own property? Windows compatibility in Win8 did not fix my problem with running older games than could run just fine in XP.
From what I hear, 47% of OS users out there still use XP, so why are Microsoft being so hardheaded about this? The only reason we stick with XP is because it does what we want it to without problems. It is a real good OS and it is a downright shame that people are being forced to upgrade - which means we lose all our downloaded programs, etc., as they will not be transferrable to Win 8 or Win 9.
Have free Internet browser and touch screen.
I wish that it was not like Windows 8 because we have to do everything online.
More utilities & support.
It is very nice.
I need to play Windows games with my brother.
Uhm, sweetness
Sounds greatv
To learn some stuff.
Aero 8.
I think it'll be a great OS
I expect it to be like Windows 8 but with more stuff.
Which one?
It is going to be better than Windows 8.
Faster shutdown than in Windows 8.
The best Windows.
A lot of functions.
Cool options.
All apps of all Windows versions to run.
It will be very enjoyable.
Well, if it can navigate as good as Firefox, it would have to be pretty good. Can it better than Firefox? We'll see what happens.
A lot.
Nice.
LAN host creating software required for W9.
Just be contented with Windows 8. Don't make PC like phones
It will be better than W8.
Windows 9 is better than Windows 8 because it is not able to compare with Windows 7, that is why I think Windows 9 may be better than Windows 8.
Good idea.
Better than Windows 8.1
It's amazing for me and improves to societies' technologies.
It would be greater than Win8 and software compatibility will be solved, more application software provided and options to personalize.
It can not be worse than Windows 8 anyway.
Safe. Stable. Windows 7 GUI. No annoying security pop-ups as in Vista. Not too much CPU demanding unnecessary graphics. Microsoft App Store. Win32 apps continue to work.
Great... do something new!
Like Win 7.
Something I've been wanting for 10 years; an artificial interactive intelligence, allowing users to have a better experience with voice recognition, more realistic text to speech reproduction, making the interface from user to machine intuitively more productive. (i.e., audibly answering math questions, looking up reference terms in an existing database and when it's not there, automatically searching the net for the answer, presenting them when found, also asking if the results should be added to the existing database or not). I think that would be really cool. I'm not talking about a "Her" which was ridiculous, I might add. Just something to make the experience more hands free. I did like how the email could be sorted from that previous example, that was a great idea. If such coolness is already out there, why is it not popular enough for me to know about it? Anyway, it would be nice and a welcomed change. I don't currently expect anything of Windows 9, though. It would be better to see an actual list of frequently similar feedback from Windows 8 users, so we have a better idea of what to expect, rather than speculating what was desired, but left out.
Great Windows 7.
I think it'll be better than Windows 8.
I think Windows 9 should have different features and many functions as compared to Windows 8 and 8.1. Because when you compare Windows 8 to 8.1, the difference between is only 1 or 2.
Slight window border transparency, slightly more opaque than Windows 7, but with the same boxey borders (no rounded corners) as Windows 8 has.
Otherwise, so far Windows 8 is great!
I have considered Windows 8 just fine. I like it better than Windows 7, actually. It has made things very simple and extremely easy to get to, once you get around the unfamiliar interface. My computer actually has had an improved performance since I put Windows 8 on it.
A much better version of Windows 8.
Runs as a graphical shell and desktop environment sitting on top of Linux OS.
Yeah, that wouldn't ruin everything that works for Windows. There is a reason that Linux is more for those more tech savvy.
If it insists on using my e-mail address, it had better allow cross domain addresses linked with my main one!
It is a very good OS if compared to W8.
This is amazing.
I think it is better for window 8.
W9 will be W7+W8.
When is this launching?
I'm so sorry about my idea because I think it`s not better than Windows 8 for users. When you use Windows 8 for your work, you can`t have good feelings about it. Windows 9 looks like Windows 8 and we have limit to install some applications or games.
You do not make very much sense. I have not been limited to installing or uninstalling anything (Besides Internet Explorer, there should not be anything that you need to uninstall that you haven't put on the machine yourself). I have also installed pretty much any game, except super old ones that don't even work on Windows 7.
I expect it to come with more MS software like Office, etc.
Compatible with Win 7 and 8 drivers. I am waiting for Win 9.
it should be very light, stable and easy.
Go back to XP Pro that was the best OS ever made.
It should support mini laptop screens.
I will like Windows 9.
Very-very light.
Mario.
It should be better than Windows 8 and Windows 8.1.
I think that Windows 9 will be good.
Win 10
Let's get the Windows 9 tested
Respect to Windows 9.
I have no good idea.
Nice.
Personality gadgets and its ease of use
Good.
Oh, I do personally expect a lot from Win 9.
More faster (e.g. few seconds to open or close the program or shut down PC), secure, better graphics and sound card, no hang at programs, etc.
If you experience everything above, you need a better computer. I have a hybrid HD-SSD and everything is instant and shut down or boot up in under 30 seconds.
The best of Windows 8.
It must be a very cool operating system supporting all games.
The game developers are the ones who make games compatible, not the OS.
A lot.
It will be OK.
3D-based.
Something even much better than Win8.
I know it is not 9, it's 8.
It'll be better than Windows 8.
It must be more simple, less complicated, user friendly, with a longer battery life safer and the start button, of course. But with an easier application downloader. Is it too much?
I have that with Windows 8
.
It should be free to upgrade from Windows 8.1.
Speed, user friendly, safe, driver availability.
Good Browser, adjustable graphics.
32 XP.
Not active.
The ability to seamlessly upgrade directly from Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 with absodamnlutely no ifs, ands or buts.
Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 with upgrades and nothing looking like Windows 8 or 8.1 whatsoever.
Not acting like Apple
I think very nice themes that will be better than for Windows 8.
A .rar, .zip and .iso handler. Although Windows 8 can handle ZIP and ISO there is no support for RAR files. If this is also provided, then Windows will become fulfilled in this part.
Just bring back the old XP with number 9.
Seriously? Gotta keep up with the times, man! The technology is advanced, it seems you a trying to hinder progress!
It will be compatible with every software which are not installed in Windows 8 but are installed in Windows 7, Vista or XP.
1. Freedom to install, uninstall, reinstall and fix YOUR Windows operating system to any PC and any hard drive without limitations and bound to hardware, without control from Microsoft.
2. For it, to do any real improvements to Windows possible, for make Windows usable, flexible and viable, Microsoft must totally change its way of thinking: Now you must buy and pay Windows and still Microsoft behaves as the owner of YOUR OWN Windows. It's criminal. Never more accept it!
3. Stop splitting hard drive automatically to partitions: The "System Reserved" small partition, 100 MB, on C-drive for BitLocker is ridiculous and prevents Windows 7 and 8 backup work when there is no more free space and you cannot make it free and cannot expand the partition without destroying your system and building it up again.
You must not have much experience in such things. You are seriously complaining about 100MB? I don't even use that partition for backup. On top of that, try out Apple OS, especially their iOS systems and actually try it outside of a simple home environment. Then complain about flexibility.
Nice.
It's pathetic
It must be more user friendly than W7 and W8.
People could upgrade from W8 to W9 for free or send W8 close to W9. And their software could be compatible.
There's a snowball's chance in Hell that it would ever happen, of course. But what I'd really like to see in Windows 9 is less bloat than the previous edition has, not more.
And please, Microsoft, don't try to give us the excuse that it's "security", because we all know better than that.
It will be OK.
I do not think I would like it. I just bought my laptop with 8, it has the XP desktop.
Windows Media Player plays almost all video formats. Thumbnails of all types of video and photo format files in Windows Explorer.
Change the advanced apps in Windows phone.
The options to download all apps here.
What do you personally expect of the new Windows 9?
Who knows.
I think it should be better than Windows 8
Yes, a lot of.
Gadgets and personality.
Interactive desktop and suites will be nice.
