Still years away. And obviously it should be better... That's the point of a new version.

    i remember windows 2

    The early days. 

    Remember early versions of MS-DOS?  Many years ago Microsoft said DOS was out, however, DOS commands remain in use to this day.

    Now, back to the Windows hate posts ;)  I hope Windows 9 does the desktop user justice, both in the work place and home. 

    I do not understand why so many people dislike Windows 8.0 - 8.1, after all, some of the wonderful things it brought were reduced functionality, new layers of "carp or c r a p", name changes and new locations for common power user functions [again], and Touch screen at the office or home anyone? ...

    I suppose you can surmise my blissful feelings about the OS king.  I ponder the question, how many people at Microsoft's board rooms understand rational thought regarding the needs and desires of PC users.

    Home and office -> Ease of use, low overhead, no hidden or difficult to find functions, and compatibility.

    Gamers                -> Performance and compatibility.  [What do you mean the latest version of Windows can't run my favorite old game? !!! {Don't expect GOG to recode many older Microsoft games and sell them for $5.99} ]

    Windows 2 I think you mean 3.2 or maybe 3.0 Don't remember any 2 but maybe

    No Ken - My apologies - Not contradicting. But support.

    I am looking forward to the release, so I hope it is April and not delayed.

    I am also hoping to get in on the beta version whenever it comes out - maybe.

    I have only been using PCs since 2009.

    Used Macs since 84.

    PC s are much more "legacy friendly" than Macs.

    I really like the flexibility a PC offers.

    This info about Windows 9 is from Tim Fisher's PC Support site.

    I would take him to be a reliable source.

    Here is a paste from his site:

    Windows 9 Release Dates

    While no official release date has been announced by Microsoft, Windows 9 is rumored to be released on or close to April, 2015.

    Your reply makes it sound like you are trying to contradict me, but
    you are not; you are saying much the same thing I did.  As I said, "It
    will probably be sometime around next April, but even that isn't
    definite"
