As we know Windows 8 is quite a new operating system, Microsoft is
already working on two major upgrades. The first one of them is
reportedly called Windows Blue and
may arrive as soon as this summer in the form of a Windows 8 upgrade
available at absolutely no cost, while the second is the full Windows 8
successor, apparently
adoption Windows 9.
It is not surprising that Microsoft is to jump from one OS version to another after just a year due to
the growing competition against Android and IOS, especially with the feeling of loss in the battle.
Windows 9 Features:
==>The Start button will finally leave the Windows OS environment and
Windows 9 would focus on developing the Start Screen with more
configuration options.
==>New Internet Explorer 11 and an improvements to the Search charm
which will show results from multiple apps automatically, similar to the
universal search performed by the Windows Explorer.
==>Windows 9 tablets may become cheaper, smaller and with more apps in contrast to the current
Windows 8.
==>Windows Blue is rumored that it will be optimized to run on 7" and
8" tablets which are devices dominated by Apple and Google. This means
that Windows 9 will improve "scaling" for applications and help
developers to create Windows version of their apps without too much
effort on rewriting due to different resolution sand screen sizes.
==>Another aspect to be looked after is the Power Management.
Bruce Worthiness discussed the fundamentals with Channel
9. He leads the team which is working on Windows power management and
technical information about saving power in the OS and the improvement in Windows 9.
==>Other features expected with Windows 9 are kine ct-based 3D
gestures similar to what Xbox uses now, 3D cameras or maybe two Web
cams, and possibly a Direct Experience as well.
Microsoft has not yet announced any details about the upcoming plans or
any real proof about the arrival or changes in both successors, but for
those who are already familiar
with the state of Windows 9 are expecting to see it on 2014.
The assumed plan of Microsoft is to release the Windows 9 beta version
on January 7, 2014 and the first release candidate on July 2014. If
everything goes smoothly, Windows 9 RTM may be completed on October 2014
and possibly be publicly released after one month
