  Windows Blue to be 6.3

  Windows Blue to be 6.3 According to one of the screen shot leakers, the WZor team (via Winaero.com), there's a rumor that Windows Blue is based on Windows 6.3. I'm hearing from one of my sources that this information is correct. It's version 6.3 for the same reason Windows 7 was version 6.1: It's the version number reported to apps when they query the new platform so that apps know they are running on a new Windows release. -10 http://www.zdnet.com/microsofts-windows-blue-may-have-just-hit-milestone-1-7000011514/ Microsoft,WindowsBlue,blue 2013-08-31 2013-02-19 17:18:29
