Hi Jim

As Windows 8 is great, why not Windows 9?

Seems from the comments like you have a US-centric issue:

.. everybody I've talked with who has either 64-bit Windows 7 or 64-bit
Windows 8 has these freeze-ups ..

Never seen that here.

Hi All:

Microsoft has been set back seriously with it desktop PC. Is this a
surprise...no, as it seems every second release borks...from Windows98 and
on, so it really comes as no surprise. The concepts of Windows 8, I thought
were pretty good, basically but unfortunately that concept was not
articulated to the point where the average non techy could grasp. Most of
the major proponents and evangelists of the Window8 project have left
Microsoft as of late. (a purge?) 

What I am waiting for is Window9. Microsoft has always been able to pull it
together, on the second try and I am expecting great things. Gesture
controlled screen, from a distance, voice activation and control, easy
connection and streaming to all hardware and appliances, unobtrusive solid
security and so on.

I think, if true to form, Windows9 will be a success... Thoughts?
