2014-09-03T22:37:06+00:00 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.
Windows 9, once released, will be the successor to Windows 8, Microsoft's most current version of Windows.
It's very likely that Windows 9 will be released in three phases, similar to how Windows 8 was released.
First will probably be a Windows 9 Developer/Technology Preview, which is a beta release for software and hardware makers. Current rumors are that this early version of Windows 9 will be available on September 30, 2014.

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" -

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} ]

2014-09-04T16:54:31+00:00 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.
