Windows 10: View Poll Results: Will you upgrade to Windows 9

If they go their way, it's like following the steps of Blackberry.

 

To the last posters > The walled garden approach would be a reason why businesses might use Modern apps. Far more safer using the Built-in apps than using a browser to perform for those that need it. Safer than desktop apps also.

The bottom of this page: Apps for Windows - Microsoft Windows

If they port and release Office over to Modern as heavily rumored, that alone would be a big hurdle. That is a huge money maker for MS.

Then there's the side loading of apps made specifically for a particular business. MS has laid out the tools to do so free of charge to create apps at a reasonable cost. I would imagine even Office apps could be custom tailored to fit one's business easily.

Like I stated, enterprise usually sets the standards. If owners, CEOs, and other board members see fit to use the new system, IT personnel will have no choice but to install and maintain it.

 

M$ tried that with W8 they have learned a lesson I hope.

 

I have a newly formatted hard drive at the ready for the trial edition.

I have several PC's with Windows 7 and one with 8.1 (I love to build computers). After purchasing the inexpensive Windows 8 license when it first became available I decided I much preferred Windows 7. The primary reason for this was that I could not find what I wanted in a few seconds as I could previously. So the Windows 8 PC was placed in storage.

In the last two weeks I brought it back to life and updated it to 8.1. I have been using it ever since and have decided that it is now OK. Most of the time I am just in Firefox or another application where 7 or 8.1 does not matter and navigating the apps menu in 8.1 is not so bad.

In conclusion I like both 7 and 8.1 but can't wait to get my hands on 9 to give it a spin around the block.

 

I've used every MS operating since DOS, I'm in the IT business so Yes I will load and use Windows 9, That's in my interest. Whether I end up using it as my Primary OS is wholly dependent in whether it gives me something more than my current Windows 7 install, Windows 8/8.1 although a good enough OS did not give me enough extra to make the switch, ( I actually have a test machine and a dual boot install of 8.1 Update1 for support purposes). Windows 9 will need to prove itself before I make a switch for personal use, this is a choice I have as do others

 

Yes:

I have had every "Beta Version" & Every version since the beginning!
Some times they get a little "HAIRY". But MS is still at the top of the Market!

 

I said yes, but of course a lot of that will depend on if I can afford it, not had this Notebook long enough to retire yet.
I love technology and if possible want to try each OS as they come out, I came late to the computer world never touched one till September 1998, but I just love them and the learning curve, keeps this old brain ticking over. *Wink

 

Ok. I've changed my mind. It doesn't mean I am abandoning 7 but I am getting 9 just for the heck of it. It will go on another drive anyway. I don't see any reason why I should not give it a go when it's out.

 

It has to be cheap and I am still to see any real reasons to move up from W 8.1 so far...but I'm watching and waiting

 

I will try and see whether it fares better than Win8.

 

My Surface is ready and waiting.

I have my PC all set to go!!

Bring it ON MS!!

My partition is already to go to dual boot also.

All the forums will be blazing hot when it’s released!

 

The question is, how long will it take to get. With all the interest generated, the MS servers will be going nuts with the demand.
