Default Microsoft is at the Threshold

Software king of the world Microsoft is about to release a wave of products next year under the code word "Threshold".

According to ZDNet, Microsoft Executive Vice President Terry Myerson recently mentioned the Threshold codename in an internal email about plans for his unified operating-system engineering group.

Threshold includes updates to all three Xbox One, Windows and Windows Phone flavours and will encourage them to share more elements between them. As we reported last week, Window RT is being thrown under a convenient bus.

Apparently the name Threshold derives from the planet around which the first halo ring orbited in the original Halo game launched back in 2001. Threshold joins "Cortana," Microsoft's answer to Siri. Cortana is not to be confused with Cortina which is the chosen vehicle of a troubled youth.

What appears to be happening is that Threshold is more of an idea than an actual product. It is the apps which will link the three flavours of Windows.
