It seems like we haven’t finished talking about Windows 8 and we’ve already moved onto Windows 9. It’s true: Windows 9 is just around the corner. Rumors about Microsoft’s newest operating system have reached a feverish pitch over the last few weeks. Some rumors state that Windows 9 will be announced in late July or early August.

Windows 8.1 was released just over a month ago. In spite of that fact, the tech community is already wondering when – and what – the next Windows 8 upgrade will be. And we don’t blame them.

Windows 8 hasn’t even been released yet, but already, some websites are looking ahead to the next version of Windows, which we suspect would be named Windows 9.
