The Existence of Windows 9: A Custom-Built OS That Defies Microsoft's Official Release

Imagine that there exists a version of Windows that you can't find anywhere on Microsoft's website. One that won't track your online activities, one that is optimized for speed and reliability, and one that performs better than Windows 7 or Windows 10. This may sound like the stuff of myths, but it's actually based on an unofficial custom-built OS called Windows 9.

Microsoft's official reasoning for releasing Windows 9 was to improve upon its predecessors, Windows 7 and Windows 8.1. However, we know better. The Master Pro keyboard lineup is available in three sizes, each in white or RGB flavors. Check them out at the link below now.

According to Microsoft, Windows 9's release was intended to be a major improvement over its predecessors. But we've discovered that there's an unofficial custom-built OS based on Windows 8.1 that has taken things to the next level. This is Windows 9, also known as "Windows Nine" or "Windows 9," which applies extensive modifications to make it look and feel like Windows 7.

Windows 9 is an embedded OS designed for use in payment terminals, digital signage, or other industrial applications. It's intended to be more streamlined than the standard version of Windows 8.1, with fewer services running by default. Despite its improved performance, Windows 9 still looks and feels like a genuine Windows operating system.

Underneath the hood, Windows 9 is a powerhouse, with features like SMB3, DISM recovery tools, better memory management, and a newer file copy dialog. It also supports speed shift technology, which can significantly improve gaming performance. However, this means that users may need to invest in new hardware or drivers to take full advantage of these features.

The creators of Windows 9 have taken the operating system to new heights by optimizing it for better performance and user experience. But despite their efforts, Windows 9 didn't quite live up to our expectations. In fact, we were surprised to find that even the custom-built version of Windows 9 couldn't outperform some other operating systems.

To put this into perspective, let's look at a few examples. When it comes to gaming performance, Windows 9 was able to keep pace with some of its competitors, but not all of them. In fact, we found that some operating systems were able to outperform Windows 9 in certain situations.

In addition to gaming performance, we also tested system performance by transferring files over a 10-gigabit LAN network. Surprisingly, Windows 7 was able to hold its own against the custom-built version of Windows 9, despite having older hardware.

Finally, we looked at PC Mark to see how each operating system performed in terms of overall system performance. Again, we were surprised to find that Windows 7 was able to outperform Windows 9 in this test as well.

So what does all this mean? The short answer is that even the custom-built version of Windows 9 didn't quite live up to our expectations. But it's also worth noting that there are some benefits to running an operating system like Windows 9, particularly when it comes to user experience and privacy features.

If you're interested in trying out a custom-built version of Windows 9 or learning more about the process of creating one, we've got some tips for you. The short answer is that it's not as easy as it sounds, but with the right tools and knowledge, anyone can create their own custom operating system.
