Meanwhile, specialized website Neowin reports that the label “Windows 8.1” featuring on the screen is just a red herring, as Microsoft developers simply do not want to reveal a definitive name for the future operating system.

The commercial launch for Windows 9 (code name: Threshold) could take place in April 2015. Microsoft is believed to be planning to make all of its products (PCs, smartphones, tablets, games consoles…) migrate towards a single system.
Characterized by its completely redesigned interface and its compatibility with touchscreen devices, Windows 8 was released on October 26, 2012. A few days earlier, Microsoft CEO Bill Gates himself had hinted at that Windows and Windows Phone should one day converge towards a single platform.
