Head of Microsoft France: 'Windows 9' is coming in the next few days [Update]

Update It's looking similar Microsoft is trying to exercise some back pedaling in regards to Crozier's statements today. ZDNet.fr has received a statement from Nicolas Petit, director of marketing and operations segmentation of Microsoft France, who in the translated text stated, "Nosotros look forward to seeing you in late September, in San Francisco, for the future of Windows, which actually at this stage does not have a name every bit such."

Original story Alain Crozier, the President of Microsoft France, today became the first executive in the company to utilize the term "Windows 9" publicly to draw the next version of Windows.

Crozier made the statement as part of a company press effect today that was live-streamed and is now bachelor to watch on the Microsoft France website. During his presentation, he said, "Terminal twelvemonth nosotros had Windows 8. In the adjacent few minutes, the adjacent few days, we'll be releasing Windows 9." Crozier is likely referring to the printing event scheduled to exist held September 30, a week from today, in San Francisco, where the company is supposed to offer the kickoff details on the adjacent version of Windows and how information technology will aid its enterprise customers.

It's possible that Crozier misspoke on the actual release appointment of Windows 9, which has the internal code name Threshold. Contempo Net rumors merits that Microsoft will expect until sometime in early Oct to release a public preview of Windows. Information technology's as well possible that Microsoft may finish up calling the next version of Windows something other than Windows ix when it is finally released. Withal, the fact that Crozier did say "Windows 9" today shows that the branding has at least been discussed at the company.

Exercise you think Microsoft should utilise "Windows 9" as the last name for the next version of the OS?
