Windows 9 Upgrade will be FREE for Windows 8 Owners as stated by Microsoft Indonesia's President. According to Indonesian news site Detik.com (via BGR), Andreas Diantoro, the President of Microsoft Indonesia, confirmed that Windows 9 will be a free upgrade for all Windows 8 users.

Windows 9 will be available as a free download, much like Microsoft's update to Windows 8.1, which was a free update provided to Windows 8 and Windows RT users through the Windows Store.

We don’t yet know if Windows 9 will be free to users of earlier versions of the OS, such as Windows 7 or Vista. A free upgrade for all would make sense, though, in that it would make it easier for Microsoft to entice as many of its users as possible to upgrade to the latest and greatest.

Microsoft has yet to announce a release date for Windows 9â€"let alone an official nameâ€"but we should find out more at the company’s September 30th media event.
