Since the launch of Windows 8, the string of leaks of Windows builds has all but come to a halt. While we have been hearing quite a bit about Windows Blue, the images you see above are supposedly from the M1 of Windows 9 (unconfirmed).
As the M1 build kernel has been given a bump to 6.3 (Windows 8 uses kernel 6.2). In addition, the images are supposedly from Windows 9 build 9319; Windows 8 was build 9200.
While this screenshot does not give us much information about the next major installment to the Windows product line, seeing that screenshots have begun to leak is a good sign for those who want a Window into Microsoft’s inner workings.
There is currently no timeline for a Windows 9 release but, based on past history, one could hedge that it will be around three years after the release of Windows 8. Of course, with Windows Blue possibly offering up an accelerated launch schedule and push towards Windows 9, the platform could arrive far sooner than we expect.

Congratulations, TH, for making mew do the doubletake of the day! I had to read the subject line several times to make sure I was reading what I thought I was reading.

Maybe by the time Windows 9 becomes tame (retail) I will have upgraded to a Win8 machine!  :S

To tell you the truth I don't like Win 8 at all even though I have 2 VM`s. I will stick to Win 7 x64 and hopefully Win 9 is something we like!

Same here TH. I'll probably get a new Win 7 x 64 later this year and retire the XP's.
