Ready or not, Microsoft does look dead set on rolling out a major version update for Windows 9 early next year, which is not something that most of us are used to, but Microsoft has certainly made changes to the cycle in recent times. After all, Windows 8 did go through its fair share of revisions in the past, and heck, the operating system has yet to blow off the candles on its two-year old birthday cake just yet. Not only that, we also know that Microsoft has been rolling out a new version of Internet Explorer each year, which is something that took place every three years before IE9. Well, at least we have a better idea as to when the Start menu is going to return, right?
