Windows Blue is the new upgrade os coming from microsoft this year mid 2013 basically it's windows 8 with sp1. Microsoft has already stated they are changing the way they release os's taking a page out of apples playbook by going with a yearly upgrade/update schedule. Each year there will be a new upgrade or os with a fee, starting with windows blue. Windows Blue will be a cheap upgrade as well because MS wants windows blue to be " The OS everyone uses ". It is gutted more then windows 8, aero removed from the taskbar and all of the os, more flatter 2d UI as the os's from here on in are to be cross platformed with windows phones and tablets. Microsoft has already pissed off application developers with this as when windows blue comes out this year they have already said they will no longer be accepting applications developed for windows 8. As there is a new sdk pack coming also, so a lot of windows 8 users that have been waiting for applications and or drivers are going to be left in the cold as the developers have already stopped looking at making the applications/drivers for windows 8 to see what happens with the direction that MS is going in and if it will fly with the general public first. Developers were already unhappy as MS win 8 updates kept breaking the apps they have made. Also before win 8 came out MS blocked a Few major development companies from being able to develop for win 8, MS almost got sued by Mozilla and Google for trying to block those browsers in their os forcing you to use IE 10. Even ASUS has limited win 8 support and they are considering not developing for it any further, most ram companies lost out with win 8 due to them not pushing the performance side, hardware makers like GFX cards are at a loss with win 8 so its really affecting the whole big picture of PC's and PC users overall. This info is not new it's already been known for quite sometime microsoft announced this a while ago.
There are so many rumors,including BA so I cannot what to believe.Seems Blue and Windows 9 to be different things?
The images don't come from Niekess PC, except for the 2nd one. The 2nd one comes from Niekess and he told me he was having fun with PS. The 3rd image seems genuine. I have no idea concerning the 1st one, because : it's running Niekess MS account but he isn't using this kind of start screen. His is much more organized
