Over the weekend, Paul Thurrott, a well-known and connected blogger on all things Windows, leaked that Microsoft is gearing up for a major OS shift. According to Thurrott, the new OS announcement will come at the BUILD developers conference in April 2014 in San Francisco. A year later Microsoft will issue this major release, which is currently known as codename "Threshold" but most likely will be called Windows 9. Threshold will go through three development milestones during the year before releasing to the public.
The codename is actually a reference to 2001's Halo, arguably Microsoft's most successful video game (Threshold is the name of the planet that the Halo ring orbits). Thurrott also said Threshold will see improvements with Metro, Windows design language with Windows 8, and may allow Metro-style apps to run with desktop apps as well, though nothing concrete has been announced.
