Tharp Daddy Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 I hope they just call it Windows 8. I don't want another Natal/Kinect situation where after you really get used to the name, and everyone knows it by that they just go and change it.

dead.cell Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Yeah, Windows 8 is just simple, to the point (a new version!) and less syllables to say. This may not seem like a big deal, but I know I'd get tired of trying to say it at least... :p Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1024182-windows-8-may-not-be-called-windows-8-foley-reports/page/3/#findComment-594296822 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ambroos Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Tiles 1 I kinda like that. Goodbye Windows, hello Tiles. Microsoft Tiles. Or if they stick with the Windows brand, what about just "Windows Live"?

FMH Posted September 10, 2011 Author Share Posted September 10, 2011 We'll find out at BUILD :D I think it was Mary Jo Foley, who speculated(because of one her tipster), who said that it would not be revealed at the BUILD. But the final name would be revealed at the CES 2012 event, by Steve Ballmer himself.

SoyoS Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Windows Infinity is certainly not going to be the name are you guys actually serious? Worst name ever, can't even type it on a keyboard without some unicode or copy/pasting.

Soulsiphon Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Seeing how they probably want to unify all their platforms together (pc, phone, 360, etc...) Windows 8 being able to turn into an "?" might make sense. You do realize that 99.9% of the consumers of MS Windows will just look at that and say "I run Windows sideways-8!" :p Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1024182-windows-8-may-not-be-called-windows-8-foley-reports/page/3/#findComment-594299122 Share on other sites More sharing options...
