Microsoft is going to preview Windows 9 (codename Threshold) on September 30th. It is speculated that Windows Technical Preview will become available for download on the same date.
I've encountered some rumors about Microsoft's plan to unite future Windows OSes under single name "Windows" (instead of Windows 9, Windows Mobile, etc.).

What do you think?
Personally I'm very excited about multiple workspaces. This feature has been available in Linux / OS X for a very long time already but in Windows 8.x and earlier this functionality is available only by installing additional software (Dexpot, VirtualWin, etc.). While usable, those softwares are imperfect and in real life they often just get in the way with casual crashes and other stability problems.
If it wasn't for the ugly file system I'd probably consider completely switching to Windows, lol.

of an early build ( 9834 ) showcases several potentially useful features such as dedicated / unified notification area and multiple desktops / workspaces. Windows 9 is bringing back more traditional start menu and the ability to run Store Apps in windowed mode (more like a traditional piece of software rather than a separate platform altogether).What do you think?
