Η Microsoft φέρεται να είναι είναι απασχολημένη με την προετοιμασία μιας δεύτερης ενημερωμένης versions for the Windows 8.1. But rumors suggest that the company is also focused on the development of "Windows 9" which is expected to be released next year.
ZDNet reports that a Windows 9 preview codenamed Threshold has already been approved and will be available later this year. The website says the public preview will be released in the fall, shortly after the release of Windows 8.1 Update 2. Microsoft had planned to bring back the menu Start with Update 2, but is rumored to be planning to deliver it with the Threshold release.
Sources familiar with Microsoft's plans have told The Verge that the company is testing versions of Windows that will bring the Start menu from the front.choice στα desktops, και θα κρύβουν την υπάρχουσα οθόνη Έναρξης. Η οθόνη εκκίνησης μπορεί να ενεργοποιηθεί εκ νέου αν κάποιος την επιθυμεί και είναι πιστεύεται ότι η εταιρεία θα κρατήσει αυτή την επιλογή για τους χρήστες των desktop.
Microsoft initially revealed the idea for the upcoming Developer Startup menu Build earlier this year.
Meanwhile, Windows Update 8.1 2 is expected to be released as part of the monthly patches security of Microsoft, this coming August. The update will include the usual bug fixes and improvements.
