Windows 9 is expected to launch in early 2015, but according to some new details, the company might actually complete the development process as soon as this year.

Citing information provided by Windows leaker WZOR, Win8China is reporting that Windows 9 is scheduled to reach RTM in October 2014, which means that leaked copies could reach the web by the end of the year.

That’s obviously good news for Microsoft enthusiasts who hope to get their hands on the next Windows version as soon as possible, even though a new update for Windows 8.1 is projected to go live this April.

Microsoft will use the upcoming BUILD 2014 developer conference to share more information about Windows 9, but also to publicly unveil Windows 8.1 Update 1, a brand new update for Windows 8.1 that’s expected to pack lots of performance and feature improvements.
