Windows 9 is the next big project prepared by Microsoft for the OS market, with people close to the matter saying that the company might roll it out in early 2015 on PCs, tablets, and smartphones.
Word has it that Windows XP, Vista, and 7 might be allowed to upgrade free of charge to Windows 9 in order to boost adoption of the new operating system and thus convince more users to upgrade. This would clearly help not only Microsoft, but also the PC industry, which is still struggling to boost sales despite the release of the Windows 8 modern operating system.
Windows 9 could bring two different betas before its public launch, one of which might be released later this year, most likely in October or November.
Just like it’s the case with all the other reports coming via unofficial channels, do not take all these details for granted, as Microsoft has remained completely tight-lipped on Windows 9 and everything related to the operating system. More information, however, should surface in the coming months, as work on this particular platform advances and the company completes development of new testing builds.
