Windows 9 Concept Makes Microsoft’s OS Look Stunning

Microsoft is expected to break the news on Windows 9 in just a couple of months at the BUILD 2014 developer conference, but people familiar with the matter are also revealing some of the features that could be part of the next full Windows release.

Based on all these rumors, several designers across the world have created more or less eye-candy interpretations of Windows 9, most of which come with Start Menus and Modern apps that run directly on the desktop.

DeviantArt user nik255 has created a beautiful concept that envisions the key features of the upcoming Windows 9, including a Start Menu, options to run Metro apps outside the Modern environment, and multiple desktops support.

As you can see in the photo gallery below, the concept does borrow some design elements from other platforms, but they still look great and there’s no doubt that Microsoft would make Windows 9 a lot more appealing if it decides to go for such an approach.

As far as existing speculation is concerned, word is that Microsoft would share its Windows 9 plans in April at the BUILD 2014 developer conference, with work on the project expected to start later the same month.

What’s more, Microsoft expects to complete the development process for Windows 9 in approximately one year, which means that the next full Windows release should be here by April 2015.

Windows 9 is very likely to bring back the traditional Start Menu, in another attempt to make the operating system more user-friendly and easier to use for beginners.

At the same time, people familiar with Microsoft’s plans pointed out that options to run Metro apps on the desktop just like traditional Windows software could be also be part of the upcoming project.

We’re still waiting for Microsoft to share more on Windows 9, so take all these details with a pinch of salt until we hear something official.

i learned windows 8 but was turned off by it and switched back to 7, hopefully 9 will be better then 7/possibly a good xp migration OS. (doubt it about xp tho, since most people that run xp still have old pc specs)

* noticed it was concept design my bad :X

Anybody, spotted the MS Glass in there.... :D

Microsoft can't wait to put Windows 8 behind just like Vista. I'm still using Windows 7. Looking forward to the classic ui in Windows 9. Hope it's as good as Windows 7 if not better.

It's great that they are putting the start menu back. A small but annoying issue that the desktop looks like W8 still, hopefully there will be some good tweaks that will fix this problem. I much prefer the W7 desktop design.

i love all microsoft mades so i can tweak it like i would. and if windows 9 comes out. i like it already.

Upper taskbar kind of Macish IOS, I do not think MS would locate them on upper taskbar, and if they can make switch between modern UI and classic UI already when logged in, just like switchable graphic, and one button shut down icon on the taskbar then it would be almost perfect.

I will light a candle for this concept version of Win 9...I hope microsoft will actually put it on sale as soon as possible, because Win8 :wtf: is just horible...

I will wait for windows 10 lol - with this speed I wonder if it matters to crack any of the upcoming windows as it seems we get newer versions every 3 months now so it's becoming more freeware as opposed to their money making scheme of focing people to buy it
