Microsoft (MSFT) is expected to announce the next generation of the Windows operating system later this year. According to reports the company began working on a “milestone preview” version of Windows Blue earlier this month, and plan to make it available to developers and enthusiasts at its Build developer conference in June.
This strategy also jibes well with another release strategy the rumor mill has turned up: That Microsoft will be releasing versions of Windows every year, rather than every three years. This more Apple-like approach lends itself to more incremental, less-drastic overhauls with each new release
Just as I suspected. Microsoft is going to polish up Win 8 just like it did with Vista. Blue won't be a show stopper. It will simply be a refinement. Sooner or later people will come to the realization that This new Windows platform is here to stay.
The leak of "Windows Build 9364" appeared on torrent and file sharing sites Sunday morning in the form of a 2.6GB ISO file.
An analysis of the leaked code suggests that Blue will come in flavors for all existing Windows editions, including RT and Server as well as desktop personal and professional.
Without further ado, here are Top new features in windows Blue:
1. More Touch.
2. More Snapping Options
3. New Included Apps.
4. Smaller Start Screen Tiles
5. New Charm Bar Capabilities
6. Internet Explorer 11
7. Touch Improvements
8. SkyDrive syncing
9. accidental tile shifting
10. Simple screenshot sharing
