Matsuda Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Microsoft is expected to name its upcoming Windows release next week, but the company has accidentally listed a "Windows TH" site a little early today. Windows TH presumably stands for Windows Threshold, the codename of what many expect will become Windows 9. On a "Windows Technical Preview for Enterprise" site, Microsoft lists the Windows TH name, alongside details on "the next version of the Windows client operating system."While Microsoft will detail Windows Threshold on Tuesday at an event in San Francisco, the company isn't expected to release a preview of the operating system until early October. The Windows TH name is likely a placeholder, or it may indicate the company isn't ready to fully name its next version of Windows.Microsoft's early leak of the Technical Preview site also suggests the company may be preparing to launch the preview as early as next week, shortly after its event. There are links to "what's new for IT professionals," but the pages do not appear to exist just yet.Windows Threshold Preview is expected to include the new Start Menu, a notification center, a virtual desktops feature, and some UI changes to the desktop. Microsoft is also launching a "Windows Insider Preview Program" that will provide enthusiasts and IT professionals with the latest preview builds of Windows Threshold as soon as they're available in exchange for feedback on changes and features.> Windows TH Technical PreviewOriginal Article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CODYQX4 Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 They still don't know how to name a product.No wonder they had trouble selling Tablet PCs. Nobody liked Windows XP Professional CE Tablet PC Edition 2003 R2 SP3 or whatever they called it.Calling it Windows TH or Threshold is a good code name but an awful release name.They should just release 2 SKU, one client, 1 server (because everyone else can get by this way, FFS just auto-disable Aero by resource checks instead of making the Basic SKUs, etc.).Windows 9 and Windows Cloud 9, because missing the opportunity to make the latter would be a tragedy.
