At present, the demise of Win8 is still pretty much a rumor, and the "news" at the links is closer to "idle gossip" than to informed reporting. (The first link by GUEST, Ed 14 Jan 14 - 11:21 AM requires a subscription to see more than the headline. The second [Here] link gives a little more of the rumor). Based on the content, I would have posted this thread as "BS" if I'd bothered to post it at all. Slightly more credible opinions have been seen, and links/comments might justify leaving it above the line, but even the most "authoritative" information is rather speculative. There is little doubt that a new Windows version will appear. There is considerable doubt that it will be much of an improvement, even on Win 8.1 (but that's just one more personal opinion). John
