Microsoft is already thinking about Windows 9 and choosing the name of the Windows 8 interface.
Even before sending the RTM version of Windows 8 to print, which should appear on store shelves on October 26 of this year, at an estimated price of $ 69.99 for a copy of the system or $ 87.99 for a system DVD, Microsoft began preparations for developing a new operating system , which appears in the internal and external documents of the corporation as Windows 9.
Of course, long-term development planning for large corporations is not at all surprising, but the very opportunity to look a little at the plans of a large corporation to create something that few people even think about is still curious.

Another development planner (apparently Microsoft at an early stage of work) indicates his work experience as follows:
In other words, Microsoft is clearly not sitting on Windows 7, expecting a reaction from the market to the somewhat unusual solutions of the Windows 8 interface, which recently lost its original and used name for a long time - Metro - due to claims by an outsider.
Judging by the reports of a number of websites, we can say that the original and sonorous title, which was a memorable and brief Metro at Microsoft, seems to have decided not to invent. So the editors of TheVerge argue that “Metro applications” will now have to be simply referred to as “Windows 8 applications”; at the same time, the designation of the interface also does not shine with ingenuity - either “Windows 8 UI Style” is used, or an even simpler version - “Modern UI Style”. Nevertheless, it is worth emphasizing that there is no official reaction of Microsoft regarding the new designations of elements of Windows 8, although there is still quite a lot of time before the official start of sales.
