Microsoft, we, the people of YOSPOS, moaned and groaned about Windows 8. We hesitated to upgrade from 7, but we did. And begrudgingly, we came to like 8. And then we realized Windows 8 was loving awesome. But it's been a while, and we miss the feeling of the big upgrade - new aesthetic, new features, a change of pace. Something to talk about. It's not that we're ungrateful, it's just that it's time for something new. So please, Microsoft, we're asking nicely - give us Windows 9!

I hope they choose a cool name for new Windows like they did with XP or Vista, I'm over the numeric names.

They should hop on the bandwagon of just naming their versions after arbitrary nouns. Windows Ukulele, followed by Windows Violin.

As the audience reluctantly began to applaud during the silence, Biden tried to fix his remarks.

"Wealthy kids, black kids, Asian kids -- no, I really mean it." Biden said.
it will be Windows 7. windows 8.1 update 1 is actually 6.3.9600 so naturally Windows NT 7.0 is the name of teh new Os.

and they were going to go even further with reimplementing windows 95 features in 8.1 or 8.2 for free but then were like "fuckit we'll just put these in windows 9 so people actually have a reason to buy it"
