All eyes are on Windows 8.1 Update 1, the new OS update that’s expected to launch in just two months, but some people are still thinking about Windows 9, the next important release scheduled to be unveiled in early 2015.

This concept, courtesy of nineART23, puts the focus on the desktop, as Windows 9 is expected to make Microsoft’s modern platform more appropriate for the traditional keyboard and mouse configuration, while also boasting powerful touch features.

As you can see, the concept relies on a flatter look, with new icons and a revised system tray area, which are among the features that Microsoft is expected to improve in Windows 9.

Of course, this concept still needs more refinements, but it’s good to know that the desktop still needs to be enhanced in order to appeal to more users looking for a clean and simple approach.
