According to ABC.com It seems Microsoft is skipping Win 9 all together and jumping ahead to Win 10. I want to add something here, on You Tube and other sites you see vids reported to be prototypes of Win 9 that show the option for either a Win 7 like desktop, or one like Win 8. Giving you the option for both. But given how unpopular Win 8 really is…look at the sales numbers. Win 7 literally outselling Win 8 3 to 1. It doesn’t take that might this delay might be because they are taking out the Win 8 Metro interface as an option.
