Has anyone else tested that leaked Windows 9?

Here are a few snap shots.

Huh what'd ya know, it looks exactly like Windows 8....

Real or not I'm just going to stick with Windows 7. Hell I'd still be on XP if they weren't ending support for it next year .

Im the same, I like XP the best, i actually have been trying to install it from flashdrive (i use win2flash) and i always get a hall.dll error.. ive tried like 4 different versions of xp also.. same thing. I never had this problem till i starting running my current OS (Windows 7 x64)

Really not a big fan of the style used for Windows 8 so I doubt I'll get 9 until I get a new laptop honestly. I'm pretty happy with Windows 7 as is.

That's not windows 9, it's most likely a version of windows 8.1, which is an update expected to arrive shortly.

Very well possible, however in one of the screenshots it says version 6.3. If im not mistaken windows 8 is 6.2 and following the past couple of version numbering 6.3 would logically be windows 9. Maybe they're changing their version numbering scheme or maybe 8.1 is such an overhaul it's easier to just increase the version number or maybe they're just using it for internal testing. I think assuming these screenshots are legit I would bet more on it being an early stage of windows 9 over windows 8.1.

EDIT: after some googling it appears you're right, windows blue or windows 8.1 is version 6.3
