 "Windows 9 will be free update for Windows 8 users")
Several Windows 9 reports have confirmed that Windows 9 will be a free update for Windows 8 users.
According to Boy Genius Report, the Windows 9 upgrade will be available free of charge to all existing Windows 8 users once it's released.
Microsoft is reportedly interested in moving many people from the older, and no longer supported, Windows XP and offering Windows 9 as a free download might be a great incentive for some, report said.
