I can certainly relate to what you say with most of that post, and I’m not sure how I got past those feelings. My first impression was extremely negative haha.

Anyway, so-called “Windows 9” is apparently code-named Windows Blue, and it looks like tiles and the new way of doing things is staying.

With that said, you might not have meant Windows Blue, which looks to retain the Windows 8 moniker, but rather the real successor. But with yearly updates as they seem intent on moving to (similar to Apple), it may be a lot longer off than the few years that Vista, 7 and 8 got people a little more accustomed to. And by then, I suspect that many concepts about computing will have changed if not by a little, then by a fair amount, and even more “innovation” will be included in Windows 9.

Well, that’s my prediction, but no one will truly know until it’s much closer to the time. I’m not sure what I hope for yet, honestly.
