    Hello! I have a question. Now that Vaio is gone, do you think we get a chance to update to Windows 9?
    I have VPCZ2390X - I still use windows 7, but think it would be worth the upgrade to Windows 9. I know that I can update to Windows 8.1 now, but still don't want.
    Any thoughts? What about drivers support?
    Thank you

    All indications are that Windows 9 will be more like, say, Windows 8.2 rather than a brand new OS. If that is the case, then I expect things will still work like they are now. If they make drastic changes to the way drivers work (quite unlikely, but with Microsoft you never know), then we will not be able to upgrade, especially us switchable hybrid graphics guys.
