Here's my logic (Not homework help, just some random thing lol)

This is how my logic works:

I predicted a time frame in which Microsoft might release Windows 16. It should be around 2036. I basically did this (I will make it look mathematical)

average release time frame x Windows version (number) = X
X - Current Year = Y
Add 20 before Y = release date

Therefore,

3x16=48
48-12=36
20 before 36 = 2036
2036 = Possible release time frame

Windows 25:

3x25=75
75-12=63
20 before 63 = year 2063
2063 = Possible release time frame

Not that these random calculations are just speculations and are not accurate lol. This won't work for a version of Windows that has already been released. Or maybe...

Start from 2005, predicting Windows 7:

3x7=21
21-5-5=11
20 before 11 = 2011
2011 = Possible release date

Pretty close, actually :D

Well, windows 8 screws that formula.

Well, windows 8 screws that formula.

That is very much true, but it is only a speculation and an equasion that I came up with lol

I think they won't be updating quite as quickly in the future as PCs start to die down. They'll probably lay off a lot of their developers.

If by PC you mean "Personal Computers" they are not dying down, PCs are still used for serious business "Work, videogames" and so on. As cool as portable devices seem to be, they are still severely limited. The only people who updates their PC once a year are gamers, work places they to delay updating the OS and hardware for as long as possible. That's why Windows 8 is more focused on portable devices, people does buy new ones every year.

There is also productivity, you can type faster on a keyboard than you do on a blackberry, and less hardware limitations means a lot of tasks get done faster in a PC.
