Slowly but surely, we're starting to get a clearer idea of what the next version of Windows will look like. Microsoft already teased a classic-style Start Menu (http://www.engadget.com/2014/04/02/microsoft-teases-a-classic-start-menu-for-windows-8-1-with-built/), while ZDNet's usually-reliable Mary Jo Foley has reported that the Charms Bar might be removed (http://www.engadget.com/2014/08/07/microsoft-may-ditch-charms/). Today, we're sifting through what might be the biggest single leak yet -- a collection of 20 screenshots from the German sites ComputerBase (http://www.computerbase.de/2014-09/windows-9-technical-preview-bilder-testversion/) and WinFuture (http://winfuture.de/news,83577.html). In these images, reportedly from the "Windows Technical Preview" expected to arrive (http://www.engadget.com/2014/08/15/microsoft-windows-threshold-technology-preview/) this fall, we can see not just the Start Menu, but a refined Taskbar, with a new search icon located next to the Start button.
