Rumor - Microsoft to Release Windows Blue, the First Free

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.

......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.

Good To See Another Product From MS

Welcome to EightForums, cyberworld.

What product are you referring to?

Microsoft has problems with Windows 8 for PC's which should be corrected. We wouldn't be having this discussion if Microsoft put in the Windows 7 start menu and let their customers choose how they wanted to to navigate Windows. Instead Microsoft chose the one size fits all approach because they were in a panic because they were so far behind in smartphone and tablet sales.

So what you're essentially saying is that you would rather see them cater to your needs even that means they might go broke. I don't know any Operating system which gives you multiple choices on how to run them without some hack or workaround.

Yes, Microsoft should cater to the needs of the loyal PC customers. They are the core Microsoft customers.

Microsoft is in it for the money, Microsoft does not care about their "loyal customers" If they did, they would have given the start menu with the option to use it or not, and given other parts of the OS with options
