	Windows 9 is an operating system developed by Microsoft. A radical departure from previous versions of Windows, it features a Unix-based environment based on the Linux kernel and a GNU user-space, providing stability and flexibility that has been lauded by the developer community as a long-overdue, but ultimately necessary step for the platform. Among the features include a version of Notepad that works with Unix line-endings, a command prompt that supports resizable terminal windows and a full port of ], plus a fully compliant POSIX environment allowing the vast majority of Unix-based tools to run under the system. Most impressively, it supports full backwards compatibility with earlier versions of Windows via ] and even DOS, via ]

	One of the most significant advances was the abandonment of drive letters and the \ character as path separators, to comply with the industry standard of / for paths and a single root directory upon which arbitrary filesystems can be mounted. Windows 9 also includes a fully-compatbile implementation of X windows, and is distributed with ready-to-use versions of popular scripting languages such as python, perl, ruby, and node.js. The legacy ] scripting language has been deprecated, but is still included for backwards compatibility.

Redirect to:

Windows 10#Announcement

This page is a redirect. The following categories are used to track and monitor this redirect:

From a related word or phrase: This is a redirect from a word or phrase (term) to a page title that is related in some way. This redirect might be a good search term, or it could be a candidate for a Wiktionary link.
- Redirects from related words are not properly redirects from alternative spellings of the same word. They are also different from redirects that are subtopics or related topics, because unlike those, a related word or phrase probably does not warrant its own subtopic section in the target page or possess the possibility of ever becoming an article, template, project page, and so forth.

To a section: This is a redirect from a topic that does not have its own page to a section of a page on the subject. For redirects to embedded anchors on a page, use {{R to anchor}} instead.

Mentioned in a hatnote: This is a redirect from a title that is mentioned in a hatnote at the redirect target. The mention is usually atop the target article. It may, however, be directly under a section header, or in another article's hatnote (whenever the hatnote is under a section, {{R to section}} should also be used).
- The titles of redirects mentioned in hatnotes may refer to a subject other than that of the target page. It is possible that this redirect may need to be retargeted, or become an article under its own title (see {{R with possibilities}}). If the title is a good candidate for a Wiktionary link, it may also be added.

When appropriate, protection levels are automatically sensed, described and categorized.
