If one believes "Wzór" (a Microsoft leaker well known and respected) relayed by T3, those Windows 8.1 will be given a special deal to have in some cases Windows 9 , at no cost . So, apparently, people who bought the retail version of Windows 8, or for those who have an OEM version, will not have to shell out a few euros needed to upgrade to Windows 9 So and any way, you could end up paying nothing or very little for the updated operating system .
Microsoft is also at the same time a kind of major incentive to persuade those still using Windows XP to finally upgrade to a modern version of the OS. Boost that really needs to happen because the XP support is forgotten long ago.
All these rumors actually make sense given that the adoption rate is slow for Windows 8 The Redmond really need to convince power users of XP, and especially businesses still running XP, they need to take the plunge. And, it also seems fair to reward those who have already adopted Windows 8, and do not make people pay twice.
Windows 9 should be much more focused and user-friendly for users using the OS on a desktop (mouse and keyboard), abandoning the "charms bar" by bringing the traditional Start menu, and even give up things like new home interface, appeared with Windows 8.
Windows 9 expected to be unveiled at the end of September, and is also likely to come with Cortana, the digital voice assistant for Windows Phone, integrated in some form, if it is not firmly rooted in the OS. Wzór also said that the enterprise version of Windows 9 will end the "Metro" (new style) interface.
Of course, this is not the first time we hear rumors about Windows 9 and that it would come free for some consumers. Indeed, earlier this month, Mary Jo Foley said he would be available to users in Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7 for nothing. Microsoft seems desperate to see his future adopted by all operating system.
