    Can We Put A Windows 8 Progress Bar on This Forum?


    Can We Put A Windows 8 Progress Bar on This Forum?, i think this would be a good way to keep track the development of Windows 8.

    In order to have a progress bar wouldn't you have to know where it starts and ends

    I think this is actually a really cool idea. And it will be a lot of fun. John could put it right under The Eight Forums name, and it would look cool if it fit the theme.

    Have it start with 7 RTM, and end with 8 RTM. We can predict dates (I did this on Seven forums)

    I also think, if done right, this could be a neat little feature.

    I voted yes... but here's what it might look like...

    0.00001%: Brainstorming
    0.00002%: Case Study of an Operating System's Role in 2011
    0.00003%: Happy hour for the Windows 8 team caused everyone to forget everything they talked about that day.

    once windows 8 is out(leaked), it'll be known to all. before that, there'll be n number of romours about it. So you never know know how much truth the progress bar carries!
