Apparently this isn't official just yet, but an Indonesian news site posted a statement from a Microsoft Indonesia executive that basically said this would be the case. I'm thinking that this might be region-specific, but who knows.
Anyhow, if this is true, PC Gamer is saying that those with Windows 8 will automatically get their OS upgraded to Windows 9 when it comes out, which is pretty cool. Guess it's an apology for 8 (if it's true)?
I also wonder how many people will try to get a cheaper copy of Windows 8 just to get Windows 9 cheaper overall; will be interesting to see if they have anything in place to guard against that.
The good news is that, going by the Windows rule (only every other version of Windows is good), Windows 9 should actually be a good version this time around.
Anyone here have Windows 8 or looking to upgrade to 9 when it comes out?
