It isn't a secret that Microsoft is working on the successor to Windows 7, but the progress so far has remained a secret.

Windows 8, the codename for the next major operating system from Microsoft, has already passed Milestone 2 progress. According to a Russian website winreview.ru, via win8beta.com, Microsoft compiled the build "Windows 8 Milestone 2: 6.2.79xx.0.winmain_win8m2.xxxxxx-xxxx" recently.

The compiled build news comes just days before CES 2011, meaning Microsoft might have a sneak preview for a select few, but the chances are very unlikely. The emerging details mean that Microsoft is already working on Milestone 3, which is expected to be completed by the end of February 2011.

is all

I wouldn't exactly say that Milestone 2 has been compiled or even surpassed completion yet as those two sources suggest.

I'm afraid I can't say much more on that front at this moment in time, but take the info published with a pinch of salt folks.

Microsoft seems to be keeping the leaks to a minimum with Windows 8 --- and it doesn't give us enough to speculate about! We need a Microsoft ninja! :ninja:

Hello Canouna, do you mind explaining your info? Do you simply read off of the boards over there or do you actually have some dialog with zuko? I just want to know to understand how you are getting the information becuase I was around from the beginning with the Windows 7 leaks and talked to some leakers. Thank you
