New rumors of Windows 9 Threshold could please desktop PC users

A new story that claims to have inside information on the next major update for Windows, code named Threshold, should please desktop PC users, who may never have to access the Modern UI interface that was first introduced in Windows 8.

From WPCentral:

The report from Neowin, which cites unnamed sources, claims that in some testing builds of Threshold, the Modern UI portion of Windows has been disabled by default. The story says that while tablet devices will still see the Modern UI Start screen, Threshold's desktop PC owners may never have to access the Modern interface unless they want to.

However, the story adds that features such as windowed Modern apps in the desktop environment, which Microsoft showed off briefly during BUILD 2014 are still planned for Threshold. That also goes for the new version of the desktop Start menu that was also quickly demoed during BUILD.

So much madness and hate for Windows 8, only because of user interface. How sad. They still gonna have to fix more than the start menu for me to switch from XP. Turn off that god-awful DWM as well.

A couple of the worst reasons I've seen to stay on XP. With the number of free start menu replacements that is a complete non-issue for ANYone, as is the "Metro" interface becasue you can boot straight to the desktop and never even see it. And DWM? Becasue everyone is forced to view their tabs in "3D"? I've used Vista, 7, and now 8. Never once have I used it, or even seen it being used (outside of Window border blurring which can be disabled) for that matter. Your choice I guess if you want to continue using an outdated, slower, and less stable OS.
