Windows "Blue"
TaoPhoenix:
Fresh off Windows 8, the MS Marketing dept has changed directions again.
http://news.softpedia.com/news/Microsoft-to-Release-Windows-Blue-the-First-Free-Windows-Ever-Rumors-310494.shtml
"The Redmondians are reportedly planning to make Windows Blue a low-cost or even free operating system, just to make sure all users will make the move to the new OS. The Windows SDK would also be updated to the new release, while Microsoft would encourage developers to create apps for Windows Blue, with a lowered focus on Windows 8.
...
Last but not least, Windows Blue would also be the first product supposed to kick off a yearly update schedule for Microsoft, as the Redmond-based technology giant is looking into ways to challenge the other companies on the market, such as Apple and Google."
What does all that even mean, contextually? Firefox's trick of renaming tweaks into "major versions"? So all of us "waiting for Windows 9", apparently that now means July!
"...and will comprise significant UI changes, most likely supposed to address the controversial Windows 8 features."
I'll let everyone take their skeet shots at that one! ;D

This would still only sound relevant to those wanting to use touch screens (probably mostly laptop and tablet users) or those who already upgraded to Win8. How would this make any difference to desktop users of Win7 with non-touch monitors?
Edvard:
So, Microsoft embracing the idea of Rolling Releasew?
Pull!
