Microsoft is working hard to prepare the new feature pack update, codenamed "Windows Blue", which will bring a wave of updates to Windows 8 as well as other Microsoft products such as Windows Server, Windows Phone, SkyDrive, Outlook and other services.

Shift + Windows + Ctrl + F5? #shorts

Now, the first screenshots have already appeared on the Internet. Win8China and Winaero are two websites that have published the images, which suggest that Windows Blue is currently based on build 9319 with an updated NT kernel version 6.3 (note, however, that this information is not officially confirmed).

The new images specific to "Windows Blue Build 9319" don't hint at upcoming features, but the jump to a new kernel is noticeable. Microsoft released the NT kernel 6.0 in Windows Vista, then Windows 7 made the jump to version 6.1, and Windows 8 includes version 6.2. The jump from Windows Blue to 6.3 could indicate that this is indeed a major update to the operating system. But despite what you may read on other sites, the screenshots you see are not part of "Windows 9," but simply part of Microsoft's new annual update cycle project.

Where are the screenshots? To respect the company's intellectual property, I don't host the images, but you can take a look at the other sources.
