Microsoft has already confirmed that it’s working on Windows Blue, but the company hasn’t provided any specifics on the release date or the features to be implemented into the project.

While a leaked build published a few weeks ago revealed some of the Blue features, a new batch of screenshots leaked yesterday confirmed that Microsoft provided partners with a new build of the operating system.

Windows 8.1 build 9369 is apparently available for download on some private torrent trackers and, even though users are currently looking for a public download link, it might seem like only a few select partners got their hands on the new version.

According to some insiders, Microsoft is readying the first public beta of Windows 8.1, as the company plans to release it at the BUILD developer conference in June. The final version is very likely to see daylight sometime this summer.
