More about Windows 9

According to those in the know, Microsoft will be delivering a “technology preview” of its Windows “Threshold” or Windows 9 operating system either in late September or early October 2014.

The news was broken by Mary Jo Foley at ZDNet.

Her sources confirmed that Microsoft will allow the general public to download Windows 9 this fall.

If you’d like to know more about Windows 9, check out our Windows 9 FAQ or What is Windows 9? page.

We plan to use these pages as a page where you can download Windows Threshold or download Windows 9 when they are available to the general public.

Here are the versions of Windows 9 that we anticipate Microsoft will be releasing to the public.

Windows 10 or Threshold Technical Preview

This is typically the first and early post beta version of Windows 10 that Microsoft will make available to developers. Based on what happened with Windows 8, Microsoft typically makes this version available to developers 5 to 6 months before it’s available to consumers.

How to change the size of the touch and on-screen keyboard in Windows 10

Windows 10 PCs come with two keyboard apps, one is the OnScreen Keyboard , and the other is the Touch Keyboard . Basically, you don't need a touch screen to use the on-screen keyboard. It displays a virtual keyboard on the screen and you can use the mouse to select and press the keys. Although the on-screen keyboard app is very useful when we don't have a physical keyboard, its size is always a problem for users. You can move or enlarge the virtual keyboard from the icons in the upper right corner. If you want, you can also easily resize it. Changing the size of the on-screen keyboard is very easy. Type On-Screen Keyboard in your Windows search and run the desktop app, or you can also go via Settings > Ease of Access > Keyboard> Turn on the On-screen keyboard.   To change the size of the on-screen keyboard, move the cursor to the corner and drag it to the desired size. Resizing the touch keyboard is as simple as doing it! Just drag it and resize it us

I’m writing this blog post on our Windows 8 touch keyboard using the standard QWERTY layout in English. As I look at it, the keyboard seems very simple and sort of obvious. This comes partly from having worked on it for a while, but also because keyboards are familiar to us. But there is more here than meets the eye (or, fingertips). We started planning this feature area with no preconcei
