As the plans for Windows 9 keeps heating up, today WZor, a very good source who is known for leaking Microsoft information, is claiming that Windows 9 RTM (or release to manufacturing) could arrive by October 21, 2014.
The new information follows recent rumors of Microsoft planning to skip Windows 8.2 and jumping straight to Windows 9 as a new strategy to end the bad publicity of Windows 8 and move forward. Previous data said Microsoft was planning to release at least three milestone builds before the final release of Windows 9, but WZor tweet now suggests that the things could be happening really quick.

The next major update, internally known as “Threshold” and what we’ll know as Windows 9, is expected to bring back the Start menu, incorporate changes to make the operating system more user-friendly using the keyboard and mouse, and Microsoft is supposed to improve the modern user-interface with “Metro 2.0”. The company will officially talk about Windows 9 during the BUILD developer conference in April.
Like with every rumor take this with a grain of salt, Microsoft has yet to publicly announce development of Windows 9 and Windows 8.1 is expected to receive “Update 1”, a set of changes to further improve the operating system, in March before we see an RTM release.
