FollowSome rumors circulated last week that were saying that the new operating system from Microsoft will not be called Windows anymore.

Windows 9 Will be Free to Windows 8 Users
Microsoft is making the latest preparations for the launch of their new operating system, the Windows 9. The tech giant is going to present the new Windows 9 during an event in San Francisco tomorrow, September 30. Tomorrow we’ll get to see a Windows Technical Preview, which is an overview of the new OS, a formal and technical presentation.
Many Microsoft lovers we can’t wait to get rid of Windows 8 and upgrade to Windows 9 and for them, the following rumor is going to bring them a lot of joy. Indonesian new site, Detik.com has revealed that the new Windows 9 will be free to all Windows 8 users and that the operating system will update automatically.
Many tech savvy people aren’t so comfortable with automated OS updates and last week we saw one giant flaw in this method of updating. Apple’s iOS 8.0.1 update was a flawed, which made the phones of 40,000 people almost impossible to use. Apple quickly withdrew the update, made downgrading possible and came up with iOS 8.0.2 the following day, but it left many people wondering if downgrading shouldn’t be made a permanent fixture in iTunes.
