The new name is 'Windows 10'...
Microsoft names next operating system 'Windows 10'

[SAN FRANCISCO] Microsoft Corp announced its 'Windows 10' operating system on Tuesday to replace the largely unpopular Windows 8, skipping a number to mark a leap toward unifying the way people work on tablets, phones and traditional computers.
The next version of Microsoft's flagship product, which still runs the vast majority of personal computers and is used by 1.5 billion people worldwide, is aimed at recapturing the lucrative business market, which generally ignored the new-look Windows 8.
Windows 10 will be "our greatest enterprise platform ever,"said Terry Myerson, Microsoft's head of operating systems, at an event in San Francisco. Only 20 per cent of organizations migrated to Windows 8, which was released two years ago, according to tech research firm Forrester.
He said Windows 10, long known by the project name'Threshold' internally, represented a new type of system for the company, as it seeks to unify computing as mobile devices proliferate. The name represented that leap, he said. "Windows 10 adapts to the devices customers are using, from Xbox to PCs and phones to tablets and tiny gadgets," said Myerson.

Microsoft offers first look at new Windows — and gives it a name
SEATTLE — Microsoft will unveil a new name for its best-known product on Tuesday (Sept 30) when it offers the first official glimpse of its latest Windows operating system.
The project, known for the past few years as “Threshold” inside the software company and “Windows 9” outside it, will likely get an entirely new brand, or just be called Windows, analysts said, ahead of its full release early next year.
The name change is symbolic of a new direction and style for Microsoft, which is veering away from an aggressive focus on Windows and PCs, the hallmark of previous Chief Executive Officer Steve Ballmer. The new, quieter emphasis is on selling services across all devices and is championed by new boss Mr Satya Nadella.
