We’ve been hearing various rumors a few months ago about the new version Windows 9, code-named Threshold. According claimed these early leaks, Windows Phone and RT would merge. But Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft, said that their plans are more ambitious than we had thought. So, has confirmed that the company’s Redmond unify all platforms in a single operating system.

These statements have taken place during a press conference that was convened following the results of last quarter. It was then that Nadella revealed the company’s plans, saying: «We will simplify the next version of Windows unifying all the versions on a single platform. So, let’s unite all our shops and operating systems to promote a more consistent user experience and give developers a range of possibilities.”

The colors will remain as shown in bold and vivid than previous versions, so you will not lose the essence of Windows 8 and Windows 8.1. In addition, also include a new authentication system in the software to combat piracy.

Until now, Microsoft licenses had been protected by a 16-digit code, of which there were numbers and letters. Now, as this protocol has been ineffective, the company has decided to force users to enter an account at Microsoft Store. Once done, consumers can download a maximum of five copies of the software.

However, the software will not see on our screens until 2015, when it plans its official launch.
