Microsoft plans to start building hype for "Windows 9" at the BUILD developers' conference in April.
Many people still hate Windows 8, which may be why the company plans to jump to the next OS as soon as possible. Despite Microsoft warning about the evils of clinging to XP, and the April death of XP support, Windows XP, however, was still on 29.23%.

January 2014 stats showed Windows 8.1 on 3.95% of desktops with Vista on 3.3%. "īack in December, NetMarketShare stats showed that more people were still using the hated Windows Vista than Windows 8.1. They need to accelerate that and come up with another path. "They have to dig themselves out of that hole, including making some fundamental changes to Windows 8. "Microsoft really dug a big hole for themselves," Gartner's David Smith told Gregg Keizer, referring to the Redmond giant's approach with Windows 8. That same telemetry data shows "the majority of Windows 8 users still use a keyboard and mouse and desktop applications." The Verge added, "Microsoft may have wanted to push touch computing to the masses in Windows 8, but the reality is that users have voiced clear concerns over the interface on desktop PCs." Microsoft claimed that telemetry data justified the removal of the Start button in Windows 8, and then its return in Windows 8.1. But despite the company's " One Microsoft" vision, we're not birds and we don't like having stones thrown our way. For Microsoft, it was like killing two birds with one stone. If customers can't easily use a Windows OS on a traditional desktop, then Microsoft hoped its " make-them-eat-Metro" strategy would force people to buy its tablet to deal with the touch-based OS. That desperation is likely what drove Microsoft to force a touch-centric operating system on customers. Of course, Microsoft continues to lose millions upon millions of customers to iOS and Android. "Additional changes include shutdown and search buttons on the Start Screen, the ability to pin Windows 8-style ("Metro") apps on the desktop task bar, and a new bar at the top of Metro apps to allow users to minimize, close, and snap apps." Then Microsoft insiders, or "sources familiar with Microsoft's plans," told The Verge that the company hopes to appease desktop users by bypassing the Start screen by default, meaning users will automatically boot straight to desktop.
The Russian site Wzor first posted leaked Windows 8.1 test build screenshots showing the change enabled by default.

Rumor has it that the update will roll out on Patch Tuesday in March. But boot-to-desktop will be the default, according to leaks from Microsoft insiders and screenshots of the upcoming Windows 8.1 update. If you hated the Live Tiles presented as the default on the Windows 8.x Start screen, then Microsoft allowed users to tweak the setting in Windows 8.1 to bypass the "Metro" interface at boot and instead boot to desktop.
