"Threshold" to be Called Windows 9, Ship in April 2015

Crap not again darn MS when do they ever makeup their mind
Well with only 9% OS market share they really have to do something to get people and business clients who are predominantly desktop/non-touch screen users and 8.0 & 8.1 didn't do that.
MS thought all of the hardware manufactures would be bring out desktop and laptop systems with touch screens and that hasn't materialised, touch screen monitors have been a very small % of overall sales (even less than win8/8.1 combined).
I have just read an article on Threshold in MicroMart magazine and that was talking about win8.2 not 9.0. I can see the logic in not having any win8.? to try and dissociate it from that experiment.
I'm at a point where I would be considering upgrading/replacing this system 5years old, but I really don't know what OS I will go for, win7 Pro. Or wait until closer to the April 2015 and just soldier on with this system that does what I want of it. Not being overly concerned with the end of support for XP in April 2014.
