Win8 users: Will Win9 be postponed?

Computer store news: Last night, Microsoft announced that 14% of layoffs this year, the cumulative impact of about 18,000 people. This layoff is also the largest in the 39 years since Microsoft was founded. It has deeply affected every aspect of Microsoft's business, including even Microsoft's core business: Windows R&D. Therefore, many Win8.1 users are worried: Win9 will be postponed?

In this big layoff, it is said that Microsoft will resign from many Windows testers and also require product managers to learn new skills, which will ensure the development of the new system (Win9) and reduce the development of new systems from development to Time cost of listing for sale.

But this layoff will slow down the development of Windows in the short term, especially the development of the next generation Win9 system, at least for a month or so.

Reference to Microsoft's layoffs is undoubtedly the right strategy for Microsoft, but considering that Microsoft is regaining the trust and favor of users who are missing from Win8, the layoffs are undoubtedly a piece of work. Wrong thing.

According to recent foreign media reports, Microsoft's next-generation Win9 is scheduled to be released in the spring of 2015, and the Win9 beta will be open to download services to developers and the public in the fall of 2014. Moreover, the actual layoffs have limited impact on the development of Win9, and will not delay the release of Win9.
