Windows 8.1 is almost here, but users are already thinking about Windows 9, the next major release prepared by Microsoft and supposed to bring many more changes to the new and modern OS.

As you can see in this concept created by DeviantArt user Chris Lombardo, users are still thinking about a full-featured Start Menu that would be much more helpful than the existing Start screen.

The designer this time mixed the Modern and the desktop UIs for a pretty appealing concept that packs not only a Start Menu showing the available Metro apps, but also the currently running programs, thus giving you the option to quickly switch to another screen.

At the same time, it packs multi-desktop support, which would be a first for Windows, even though users have been asking for such a feature for years.
