Until now (beginning of September), Microsoft has not mentioned Windows 9 by name but the image at the top of the article was posted by the firm's Chinese division on Weibo saying ""Microsoft’s latest OS Windows 9 is coming soon, do you think the start menu at the left bottom will make a come back?". It was quickly removed but cnBeta managed to grab it.
We expect Windows 9 to launch in PCs, laptops, tablets and phones that you can buy in April 2015 but Microsoft is likely to show it off - to some extent - on 30 September as it has now sent out invites to an event where it will outline 'what's next for Winodws and the enterprise'. Microsoft will reportedly show off a 'Windows Technical Preview'.
The new Start menu slated for Windows 9 appears to be the star of a video showing us exactly how it will work.
Leaked and posted by German blog site WinFuture on Thursday, the video seemingly offers an early glimpse of the Start menu in action as it may appear in the Technical Preview of Build 9834 for Windows Threshold, aka Windows 9. Reports claim that Microsoft could unveil this Preview edition later this month or early next month.
I actually like Windows 8 after just getting a week ago. Took me minimal time to understand it and everything, it takes a little extra time to get to certain things on the new start section, but oh well. This looks like a floppy mix of both the new and old, not that into it.

I hated the whole start menu on Windows 8 and switched back to 7 + W8 doesn't have Aero and I always loved that on W7.
Can we just have a prettied up windows 7 please? I'm not here for this ugly ass intrusive metro UI it has always looked terrible and by the looks of it, it isn't getting any better. We don't need everything to have a giant coloured square behind it

You'll be able to disable those "giant coloured squares" if you don't need them, look at the second leaked video.
Leave it ALONE Windows!
