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

umm yeah, but we can have like windows 7 rtm on the bottom and predict the milestones such as m1, m2, m3, beta, pre-rc, rc, pre-rtm, rtm, ga.

yes, we have thought a nice think.

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 believe the alpha is still in testing, so we should be getting leaks in 3 years or so. The beta will probably be late 2011 to mid 2012. I am putting RTM at mid 2013. We will see how close I am in 4 years.

I stand by that.

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

i forgot...oops

I see no foreseeable issue...why not?

[ciphernemo]

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.
0.00004%: Brainstorming

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!
