Microsoft plans to introduce a successor to Windows 8 next month at a special event for the media. Sources familiar with the company's plans told The Verge the approximate date of the event. On September 30, Microsoft will tell about the upcoming changes in Windows, which will bring the assembly code-named Threshold.
The Threshold assembly is still in development. On September 30, Microsoft plans to show developers a preview version of what will later be called Windows 9. This information coincides with a recent ZDNet post about Microsoft’s plans to release a preliminary version of Windows 9 in late September or early October.
The preview will give developers the opportunity to take a look at Windows 9 with the new Start menu, the missing Charms panel, and other changes to the user interface. Microsoft also plans to embed Cortana's voice assistant in the Threshold. However, it is unclear whether this feature will be available in the pre-release version of Windows 9.
It is unlikely that Microsoft will call the release dates of Windows 9 at the upcoming event. It is reported that the company plans to hold a presentation of the main features of the operating system, so that developers can get to know them better.
In addition, Microsoft is developing a separate combined version of Windows RT and Windows Phone, the details of which the company can disclose at the same event. Anyway, Microsoft finishes work on the next version of Windows and is ready for its public discussion.
