“Blue,” a set of “year one” updates to Windows 8 and related platforms that will supposedly right all the wrongs of the original releases.
...
Blue is scheduled for a summer 2013 RTM
...
will be free for current Windows 8 users
Windows 9 is of course happening and is under development now, and will ship roughly three years after Windows 8, as you might expect.
In the meantime, to boost slow sales in particular of tablets,
Microsoft may be reducing OEM pricing of the Windows 8 (or RT) with Office
from $120 to $30
