An update to Windows 8, codenamed Threshold, a "wave of operating systems" across multiple Microsoft platforms and services, scheduled for release around the second quarter of 2015. The goals for Threshold was to create a unified application platform and development toolkit for Windows, Windows Phone and Xbox One (which all use a similar Windows NT kernel). It was speculated that Threshold would be branded as "Windows 9". But Threshold was officially unveiled during a media event on September 30, 2014, under the name "Windows 10".
