It has already leaked some info about Microsoft’s new operating system, with the assumed name of Windows 9 Now even a bit familiar, namely the price.
According to the Indonesian news site detik.com Andreas Diantoro, the head of Microsoft Indonesia, said that the company’s next operating system will be free for those customers who have previously running Windows 8
This marks a shift from Microsoft, which until now has been well paid for their operating systems.
The cheapest version of Windows 8 today costs about 1,000 dollars, while competitors like Apple and various Linux vendors regularly release free upgrades to their operating systems.
Another important factor is probably that Windows 8 has received a rather lukewarm reception, and a free solution should be able to attract more users to the new operating system.
The big question is how Microsoft will deal with those who are still using XP, Vista or Windows 7, Microsoft has a unique opportunity to gather users under a new OS if it is done available free to all, but it is uncertain how it relates to this.
According to previous leaks, the stage is set for easy upgrade ever baked in the new operating system Windows 8
We expect more information about Windows 9 tomorrow, September 30, when Microsoft has invited the press to an update.
