Microsoft would consider in order to users of Windows 8.1 and Windows 7, a free update to the next version of Windows, which is now known under the code name Threshold and which next spring must come out.

The free update should ensure that a lot of users quickly to the new operating system change and in that way Microsoft is distancing oneself from Windows 8.x, that, according to Microsoft insider Mary Jo Foley of ZDNet, a ‘Vista 2.0’ has become. The free update would be limited to users of Windows 7 SP1 and Windows 8.1.

Windows Threshold, that maybe Windows 9 will be called, put the line through to the interface of the operating system to fit on the device: on tablets and smartphones comes the ‘Metro-style’interface to the front, with desktops and laptops that Microsoft has only the desktop interface. The information of Foley corresponds to a rumor of Monday.

The Russian analyst and blogger Eldar Murtazin recently said in a podcast from @evleaks that Microsoft in Threshold on the steps of the characteristic live tiles in the Metro interface. “Microsoft will say that it is an evolution of tile and that it has no widgets like in iOS or Android, and that is partly true. But this decision is a few months ago because people tiles, and the interface is not a fun place to be.”

The rumours about Windows Threshold going for some time, but in recent months has been strengthening. This may indicate that an announcement of the next Windows version comes closer.
