What is Windows Blue?

-Not Windows 9

Windows Blue System Information Spreading Online

First of all, we must be clear that Windows Blue is not Windows 9 (previously there were media reports that it might be named Windows 8.1), and Microsoft did not do it directly from Windows 8 to Windows 9. In the face of many problems after the Windows 8 system was put on the market, Microsoft started the development of Windows Blue early. For consumers, Windows Blue is more like Windows XP SP1.

-Or replacing Windows RT

The Windows 8 RT system for the ARM camp tablet has a bad market response

Windows 8 RT products are not only contradicted by market consumers. The lower market sales and higher promotion costs have forced Samsung and other partners to adopt the strategy of “returning to”. The outside world has also speculated that Microsoft will take Windows Blue to replace the status of Windows RT, so that the tablet system will be unified in Windows Blue. Microsoft wants to enter the mobile field, it is impossible to give up the ARM camp products that dominate the tablet field, so the move to replace Windows 8 RT with Windows Blue is very feasible, and then solve the ARM camp Windows 8 RT tablet is not compatible with traditional Windows applications. The problem also makes Microsoft really stand firm in the tablet field.

Tips: The idea of ​​making ARM camp tablets perfectly compatible with traditional Windows applications is good, but it may not be possible to implement a larger patch like Windows Blue. After all, in addition to the system, software compilation is also a key issue, and this conjecture may be a dream for the time being.

-Lower price

Microsoft tried to adopt a low price strategy at the beginning of Windows 8

In the case of IT equipment pre-installed, the system itself will take up product costs and ultimately affect the price of the product. The market believes that Microsoft will offer Windows Blue systems to partners at a lower price than Windows 8 systems. The Windows Blue system for each tablet is estimated to cost between $40 and $50, which is $20 less than the cost of the Windows 8 system. The reduction in system cost will directly reduce the price of terminal IT equipment, and will also help the hardware long-haul to win more profit margins, thus actively promoting Windows Blue equipment.

Public preview will be released at the end of June

From the current situation, Windows Blue will not be officially released later this year. Even more gratifying is that the public preview of Windows Blue will be available to you at the end of June. The news has been confirmed by foreign media, and confirmed that Microsoft will showcase its public preview version during the Microsoft Global Developers Conference BUILD.
