There has been much talk of this in the media, a lot of it considers the public will be even more convinced that win8 was a commercial disaster and they want to get as far away as they can. Windows 9 really would have been the better choice.

People know what happened with win8, so no more updates for it be that 8.2 or 8.1 update 2 - move on to windows 9 - I guess they don’t think it is far enough away from win8.
