<\/a><\/p>\nAccording to popular Microsoft beta scene group WZOR, which has accurately delivered copious amounts of news, screenshots, and leaks regarding the development of various versions of Microsoft Windows all the way from the Windows Vista days to today, Microsoft is planning on releasing the next update to Windows 8, which was announced at BUILD 2014 and brings windowed \u201cModern\u201d Windows Store applications and the return of the Start Menu, before the end of the year. What\u2019s more, according to the group, Microsoft is planning on releasing the update not as Windows 8.1 Update 2, as you might expect, but as Windows 8.2. <\/p>\n
This reinforces the notion that development of Windows \u201cThreshold\u201d, which many expect will be called Windows 9, is too early in development to be a serious contender for release any time soon. Microsoft\u2019s latest update to Windows 8, Windows 8.1 Update 1, brought significant changes to the operating system, including usability improvements for keyboard and mouse users and the ability to pin \u201cModern\u201d applications to the desktop taskbar. Considering Windows 8.1 Update 1 could have easily been called Windows 8.2, there seems to be little rhyme or reason to Microsoft\u2019s marketing of Windows 8 updates. But no matter what they\u2019re called, a significant update is a significant update, and Windows 8 needs all the improvements it can get. <\/p>\n
