The software firm prepares to leave
behind the operating system dubbed
"confusing" by users, according to a report.

[Microsoft is reportedly on course to
ditch its troubled Windows 8
operating system in 2015.
According to tech blogger
Paul Thurrott, the world's biggest
software maker will confirm at its
Build conference in April that a project
titled "Threshold" will deliver a n
ew operating system, Windows 9.
It was scheduled, he said, to launch in April 2015
following an update to Windows 8.1
this year which would also
include phone software improvements.
Microsoft released Windows 8.1 in October 2013
after being met by a flurry of complaints
about the original Windows 8.]

Hopefully Windows 9 will be a step in the right direction, but with how Microsoft have been since Bill left, I can't see it.

Except official support ends for XP in April, leaving it open to hackers and the like.
