Microsoft Fresh Paint video fills in more details of rumored Windows Blue upgrade

On the heels of its Windows 8 launch, Microsoft seems not to be doing any laurel-resting as more evidence of a rumored cross-platform update, codenamed "Blue," has leaked. The latest video obtained by MSFTKitchen features Microsoft's chief technical strategy officer Eric Rudder talking about "extending touch in even more dramatic fashion," as he more or less verified Blue as the codename for the next Windows 8 update -- which is also rumored to encompass all Windows Phone 8, Services and RT products. As for Fresh Paint, the demo was designed to show new Watercolor options in the app while showcasing Windows 8 / Blue touch options as a creative tool for artists. There's still no word on when the new platform (not to be confused with Windows 9) or any apps may arrive, but upgrades are rumored to be switching to a possible yearly cycle -- so you might want to mark late 2013 in your calendar, with a blue pen. The video's after the break.
