Microsoft reveals Windows TH name for upcoming Windows release

Early next week, Microsoft is expected to give more information and even name its next Windows iteration, the operating system set for release next March.

The company has accidentally listed the name, or at least a preview name for the upcoming operating system- 'Windows TH,' which likely stands for Windows Threshold. The company has been using Threshold as its codename for development, but many still expect the OS to be called Windows 9 eventually. Microsoft does not often deviate from tradition.



Microsoft has already planned an event for Tuesday for the OS, and TH could be acting as a placeholder while Microsoft continues to play the waiting game on an official name.

As of writing, the company has taken down its Windows Technical Preview Site.

  Where did the submit news button go? And AD is seriously behind the times regarding their news articles as every other news source has written about Microsoft's new Windows 10 but AD hasn't reported a thing.
  
  Good to know there are other sources beside AD as some credibility as a 'tech site' has now been lost.

Looking at all the typos on Ars tech I'd rather have slow news than opinionated hyperbole that has more grammar issues than my writing :P(and no ars is not that bad....but soemtiems I have to wonder...)
