Could Microsoft go the extent that doling Windows 9 out free of charge to Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7 clients? This may well be the situation as the center moves far from Windows 8 towards its successor, which is relied upon to land in spring 2015. 

In a blog entry, Zdnet's Mary Jo Foley refers to bits of gossip that Microsoft could be putting forth "some kind arrangement" to clients of the three working frameworks to lure them to move far from legacy stages. Such an arrangement, she composes, could be as a free overhaul. 

Microsoft has offered such arrangements to kickstart moves from more established stages to fresher ones previously, yet given the substantial unforeseen of Windows XP clients out there, a freebie may draw them to Windows 9 - instead of Google Chrome or Apple's OS X. 

As per Foley's sources, Windows 8.1 Update 2 is required to arrive on August 12, on the organization's month to month Patch Tuesday. It's said to be a minor one and won't be required, and its substance is relied upon to incorporate minor configuration changes, however nothing awesome. 

Rather, the center will be on Threshold, likewise alluded to as Windows 9, which is required to place a specific accentuation on getting some pivotal gimmicks - like another begin menu - prepared in.
