Windows 9 for a free upgrade for users of Windows 8

Windows 9 Multiple reports have suggested that Microsoft is considering the release of the next platform as a free download to certain existing Windows users. Some said that Windows 8 will get free Windows 9, while others claimed that the company is also considering some kind of special offers for existing users of Windows XP. A report published online Indonesian Detik said earlier this week that the president has confirmed MicrosoftIndonesia Andreas Diantoro this particular feature of Windows 9.

SINCE EARLY: Windows 9 can not come soon enough for Microsoft


According Diantoro, updating Windows 9 will be available free of charge to all users of existing Windows 8 once it's released. Apparently, users can easily install Windows Update 9 after downloading from Microsoft, which is like Apple OS  updates have been released to Macs for a few years now. For what it's worth, some of the recent leak of Windows 9 did say that Microsoft already has a tool in place that will allow users to easily perform software updates.

It is not clear if other Windows users who are in the earlier versions of the operating system will have other special offers, and real prices for Windows 9 are not yet revealed. Microsoft would be interested in moving as many people, and is no longer supported, Windows XP and Windows provide 9 as a free download can be a great incentive for some.

Microsoft will unveil Windows 9 and will soon release a technical preview of it. Recent leaks, including many videos have shown some of the main features that comes with Windows 9, including the return of the Start menu, the Cortana search assistant based on voice that is currently only available on Windows Phone, the Center for Notice, support for multiple desktops, and several other user interface improvements.

More posts by this contributor What Studying Students Teaches Us About Great Apps I’ll admit it: When it comes to food, I’m lazy. There are dozens of great dining options within a few blocks of my home, yet I still end up ordering food through delivery apps four or five times per week.

Slack’s new integration deal with AWS could also be about tweaking Microsoft

Slack and Amazon announced a big integration late yesterday afternoon. As part of the deal, Slack will use Amazon Chime for its call feature, while reiterating its commitment to use AWS as its preferred cloud provider to run its infrastructure. At the same time, AWS has agreed to use Slack for internal communications. Make no mistake, this is a big deal as the SaaS communications tool increases its ties with AWS, but this agreement could also be about slighting Microsoft and its rival Teams product by making a deal with a cloud rival. In the past Slack CEO Stewart Butterfield has had choice words for Microsoft saying the Redmond technology giant sees his company as an “existential threat.” Whether that’s true or not — Teams is but one piece of a huge technology company — it’s impossible not to look at the deal in this context. Aligning more deeply with AWS sends a message to Microsoft, whose Azure infrastructure services compete with AWS. Butterfield didn’t say that of course
