Windows Blue Might Be Launched as Windows 8.1 Build 9375 [Rumor]

From Softpedia

Microsoft will most likely launch the first Windows 8 upgrade sometime this summer but, while the company confirmed the project, it also mentioned that Blue is only an internal codename.

There’s no information regarding the final name of the project for the time being but, according to a new leaked screenshot, Microsoft could call it Windows 8.1.

As you can see in this photo published on Winforum.eu and spotted by WinBeta.org, Windows 8.1 build 9375 is reportedly under development right now, even though it’s not yet clear whether this is the final designation or not.

While we must keep in mind that this screenshot reached the web on April Fools’ Day, so it might very well be fake, it could also make sense for the Redmond-based software giant, as it’s only looking to release a Windows 8 upgrade and not a standalone operating system.

On the other hand, if Microsoft calls this release Windows 8.1, it might be a sign that future upgrades could follow in the next years, despite the release of Windows 9 in 2014.

April fools day, a widely recognized and celebrated day when people play practical jokes and hoaxes on each other. At the same time, we've come across a screenshot of what appears to be Windows 8.1 build 9375. Will Windows Blue be called Windows 8.1?

As many have been testing Windows "Blue" build 9364, a new sheriff may be coming to town. A photo was leaked just a short while ago, showing that Microsoft has compiled build 9375 about 11 days after 9364, but that's not all. It no longer has the "Windows 8" text in the watermark above the taskbar, or in the Windows Version.

What we see is a brand new version of Windows and it's simply called Windows 8.1. It is uncertain if Windows 8.1 will be the final name of Windows "Blue." Regardless, should Microsoft call this update as Windows 8.1? It makes sense, since it lines up perfectly with its Windows Phone counterpart, which saw 7.0, 7.1, 7.5, 7.8 and then 8.0.

Editors note: Keep in mind that this image appeared a day before April fools day. We are simply posting this screenshot for all to see and judge its authenticity for themselves. Sometimes, things are indeed true on April fools day and are not always false, in an attempt to trick you (mind blown!). Regardless, we have labeled this post as a rumor and it should be treated as such until more details are revealed on a later date.
