Rumor: Windows 9 coming in November 2014?

Posted: 20 Mar 2013 05:14 AM PDT

We talked a lot about Windows 8 in the past, and speaking of Windows, latest rumor has it that we might see Windows 9 in the near future.

This rumor comes from Win8China, and in the past they have released several accurate rumors about Windows 8, so they might be onto something with this one. According to them, Microsoft is working hard on Windows 9, and it should be launched on November 2014. In addition, beta should be available for testing someday in January. This might be true since rumor has it that Microsoft is planning to release its new operating systems on yearly basis. However, the question remains do we really need another Windows release so soon? Most users are still using Windows 7 or even Windows XP, since they aren't pleased with Windows 8, but who knows, maybe Windows 9 will do better than its predecessor.

One thing’s for certain, these are just rumors, and there has been no official information from Microsoft regarding Windows 9 so far.
