[Glasine] Windows Blue prvi besplatan Windows.... ikada!!!

Although Windows 8 was launched last month, Microsoft is already giving the final touches to Windows Blue, the new Windows iteration that’s apparently supposed to come with some really huge surprises.

Citing sources familiar with Microsoft’s plans, The Verge reports that Windows Blue is going to be released in mid-2013 and will comprise significant UI changes, most likely supposed to address the controversial Windows 8 features.

The Redmondians are reportedly planning to make Windows Blue a low-cost or even free operating system, just to make sure all users will make the move to the new OS. The Windows SDK would also be updated to the new release, while Microsoft would encourage developers to create apps for Windows Blue, with a lowered focus on Windows 8.

If rumors prove to be true, Windows Blue won’t be available as a standalone OS, so users would need an older Windows to upgrade.

Last but not least, Windows Blue would also be the first product supposed to kick off a yearly update schedule for Microsoft, as the Redmond-based technology giant is looking into ways to challenge the other companies on the market, such as Apple and Google.

Curiously, sources close to the matter are also suggesting that Microsoft is working on a different Windows iteration called Windows Blue, but this one may actually be the first major improvement to the yet to be released Windows 8.

Windows 8 is yet to be launched, but the Redmond-based software firm is already working on the next Windows iteration, which is reportedly called “Blue.”

As you probably know by now, Microsoft will roll out the new Windows 8 next month on October 26, but according to a post on WinUnleaked.info, company employees have already been assigned the task of developing Windows “Blue.”

In fact, the Windows development division has been split up into two different groups, one that will oversee the Windows 8 development and another one that is supposed to work on the “Blue” version.

Obviously, Microsoft hasn't commented on the matter, but it appears that the team responsible for Windows Blue has already worked on the project for a month or so, which means that some very interesting screenshots, or at least information, may be released in the near future.

Code name Blue


Hi all,

Microsoft's employees are back to their house (Redmond HQ), and the work continues

The Windows Team is now "splitted" in two teams, one team is in charge of the next Windows operating system version, and the another team is building the rumoured code name Blue.

This is what we've heard: Blue will be an addition to Windows 8, the current builds of the Blue project exists since 1 month ago, all with the build number 9200.0.
