Just created a Windows 9 vision... opinions?

That's a slippery slope, though. And quite frankly, it's almost an impossible task. Spread your resources too thin, and it'll be too much for no one. The thing about Windows now, is it allows users to work, while providing a singular UX. I can sit down with any Windows machine right now, and know that nothing will be out of place. Jane's Windows 8.1 isn't going to be different from Jack's Windows 8.1... Bob's Windows 7 isn't going to be different from Sara's Windows 7.

 

Windows 8.1 is quite an adaptable OS. It can run on tablets, full desktop PCs, and everything in between. What needs to happen with Windows 9, is unifying each UX into one, while keeping the pure Metro side separate, and building upon its Windows 8.1 foundation. I feel those will be the keys to success in the next release. Shoehorning Metro into the desktop isn't going to work out, as evidenced by the upcoming update. It looks stupid, it feels stupid, and it doesn't solve anything. 

 

That's why I said "as possible". :-) Certainly there's going to be practical limits to what Microsoft can accomplish.

 

But if they can make the users who prefer "Windows Classic" more comfortable while evolving and maturing the OS (especially on the Modern side), then IMO that's effort well spent.
