	4 key features coming to Windows 9 (hopefully) Don't get too comfy with Windows 8.1. Soon after Update 1 was released, announcements and rumors arose about what's coming in the next version of Windows (Windows 9; for the lack of an official name.) The earliest we might see a beta is spring 2015, but here we speculate on the four most significant features it's likely to have.
