Microsoft Blunders Again?

Rumors of Microsoft's latest naming strategy for the Windows re-launch has many befuddled. Although they clearly wish to move beyond Windows 8 ASAP, strangely, the company is reported to be considering dropping the version information from their flagship product. Instead of Windows 9, Microsoft is considering calling the next release simply, Windows. This would be extremely confusing to anyone trying to determine software compatibility especially in the case of Windows RT which does not run most Windows applications. Trying to emulate the competition, Microsoft is pondering no version information like the Apple OS X. Such a risky move could prove helpful in the long run reducing the ever-expanding group that refuses to move onto newer versions but that assumes the new version will be accepted. If the strategy backfires, Microsoft will be digging itself out of an even bigger hole than it has now.
