Via the official Windows blog, Microsoft has confirmed that Windows 8.1 (formerly known asWindows Blue) will be a free update for those running the current Windows 8 operating system. Many had suspected that the Redmond company might try its hand at Apple’s system of meager updates for a minimal fee, but, as per the blog post, the update will in fact be called Windows 8.1, and will be offered as "a free update to Windows 8 for consumers through the Windows Store."

It’s been common knowledge since way back at the beginning of last month that the forthcoming update to the software maker’s flagship OS would be called Windows 8.1 as opposed to Windows Blue or Windows 9, but it is certainly better to hear it right from the horse’s mouth.

The blog post, entitled ‘Windows Keeps Getting Better,’ was reflecting upon the comments of Tami Reller at the JP Morgan Technology, Media & Telecom Conference in Boston, in which she confirmed the naming and also the fact that it would be free to those already on Windows 8.

Although nothing has been mentioned regarding the upgrade price for those not currently on Windows 8, one would suspect it will likely cost as much as a regular Windows 8 license.
