Microsoft Names Blue as Windows 8.1

On the 14th, Tami Reller, chief marketing officer and chief financial officer of Microsoft Windows Division, told the JPMorgan Chase Global Technology Media and Telecom Conference that the official product name of Windows Blue has been designated as Windows 8.1, and the product Will be released later this year.

Windows Blue is an upgraded version of the Windows 8 operating system and its product code is "Blue". The product name of Windows 8.1 conforms to the Windows system naming rules that Microsoft has followed for many years.

Microsoft also introduced this new software on its official blog, and Microsoft plans to provide a free download service for Windows 8 users later this year.

Rui Leer said that so far, the Windows department has made 739 updates to different versions of the Windows 8 operating system, but the changes made to the previous version of Windows 8.1 will be much more than the previous upgrade. Rui Leer said: "This upgrade is more content than the weekly upgrade."

Reiler did not disclose what specific new content the Windows 8.1 system will add, such as whether it will restore Windows users have used the "start" button. The answers to those questions will only be announced on June 26, when Microsoft will release a preview version of the Windows 8.1 system at the Build Developer Conference in San Francisco.

Rui Leer said that the Windows department insists on the principle of upgrading the operating system but is not old-fashioned. She said: "You need a vision. You must have your own opinion. You need to persist for it. You also need to listen, learn and become smarter often."

Rui Leer said that the Windows 8.1 system will be released to the general public before the end of the holiday season. She said that the company has realized the importance of giving hardware partners enough time to install updates. They hope that new products will be available before the festive shopping season.
