San Francisco - UPI
With Windows 8 debuting to mixed reviews and a series of alleged leaks purporting to reveal classified information about the upgrade, Microsoft is expected to reveal new details about the latest upgrade to the operating system, Windows 9, at a "'technical preview" in San Francisco on Tuesday.
The upgrade to Windows 9 is expected to available for free for Windows 8 users. Microsoft has not officially confirmed the free upgrade stateside -- or even specifically used the words "Windows 9" in any official capacity -- but Microsoft Indonesia president Andres Diantoro confirmed the rumor to the Indonesian press.
"When [Windows 9] launches, users who have been using Windows 8 just need to update via [their] device," Diantoro said.
"It will be installed automatically."
Originally rumored to be released around April 2015, a leaked internal memo revealed Windows 9 may not be released until September 2015, or possibly as late as Christmas.

Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations. It includes the dress worn by supermodel Naomi Campbell, his longtime friend and muse, when she led
