Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ: MSFT) must have realized that adoption of its Windows 8 operating system has been undermined by features that potential customers do not like.

According to The Verge:

An early build of Windows Blue, the next version of Windows, has leaked online on the same day that Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer celebrates his 57th birthday. Build 9364, a partner version that was originally compiled on March 15th, has been made available on file sharing sites and includes some of the new changes that Microsoft is building into its significant Windows 8 update.

Microsoft shares are inactive in premarket trading. The share price is up about 2.3% year to date and closed at $28.25 on Friday, in a 52-week range of $26.26 to $32.89.
