Windows 8 & 9

Hello everyone,

The title says it all. ;)

According to Wikipedia

Quote:

Windows 8
A roadmap timeline slide shown by Microsoft at the 2009 Professional Developers Conference shows that a product code named "Windows 8" is scheduled to be released sometime around 2012. Development and other aspects of Windows 8 have not been detailed in public, although job listings have mentioned improved functionality for file access in branch offices.

A recently-departed Microsoft employee's blog has revealed a rough version of Microsoft's roadmap for key software, including Windows 8. According to the information, Microsoft aims for Windows 8 support to start on July 1, 2011. Support for Windows Server 2012 starts on July 2, 2012.

A Microsoft KB article confirmed that Windows 8 is the next version of Windows. The article has now been changed to remove references to Windows 8.

I've found more info about windows 8 & 9 but it's in greek. :( I can't post it here.
Anyway, you can google "Windows 8" & "Windows 9". It should return a lot of results.

You forgot "new" features that have been available in other systems for years. That's quite important.

Those too. I think Apple are quickly becoming the new Microsoft. I think MS are actually making some effort to improve their software at the current time.

Uhm. You mean until it is released to the public right? That's MS problem - their software would be perfectly safe were there nobody using it ;)
