Microsoft skips Windows 9
Microsoft gave the world a preview of the latest version of its flagship operating system overnight in San Francisco.
Windows 9 is the OS that never was, as the US vendor moved straight to Windows 10. CRN US reported that Terry Myerson, executive vice president of Microsoft's Operating Systems group, said Windows 10, codenamed 'Threshold,' has been built from the ground up for productivity and reflects Microsoft's growing focus on mobility and cloud computing,
Myerson also said Windows 10 is designed to run on all kinds of computing devices - from tiny sensors in the Internet of Things, desktops and tablets, servers running massive corporate data centres and eventually even the Azure cloud.
The executive cited mid-2015 as a "reasonable" time for the launch of version 10.
