A new report claims that the Windows Threshold aka Windows 9Â preview will be held by Microsoft tentatively on 30th September. This is in line with earlier report of a late September preview. The 30th September date may change but even if it changes, the Windows 9 preview for developers will be held shortly after September 30. Microsoft may also not announce the “Windows Threshold” name at the press conference and may just call it Windows 9.
The report claims that developers will be able to have first look at new mini start menu and the windowed modern apps along with removal of charms bar. Cortana integration may or may not arrive with this technical preview.
We have earlier reported about confirmation of multiple SKUs of Windows Threshold and one of them will be Windows Phone + Tablet SKU. Microsoft may also talk about this SKU at the press event for the technical preview.
