    Here's a new comment from Stephen Chapman.

    I doubt we'll see the beta until early/mid 2011, to be honest. From everything I've seen about Windows 8 so far, it appears to be a fairly large undertaking. I wouldn't get my hopes up if I were you, but you never know what can happen! Either way, I'm sure the leaks will come long before the beta.

    Yeah, I doubt the .iso's will even be backed up before they're leaked. <<<< That means happy geeks. WHERE OH WHERE HAS THE GEEK EMOTICON GONE!

    naturally MS stated long ago they will begin releasing new versions of the OS every 2-3 years. the life span xp had continues to cause problems for MS and an OS at that age can be a nightmare to keep up to date and secure.

    What I read led me to believe MS was testing the service pack integration process way in advance of any possible service packs. The service pack was a test of the process, much like features of this site are being tested before being rolled out.

    I skipped Vista, but research has revealed that after Vista SP1, SP2 is not capable of being "slipstreamed" into an install DVD. This is a real pain (just add more to the Vista experience) because it means every time Vista is reinstalled or repaired the SP2 will also have to be installed. I have been "slipstreaming" service packs into install disks since 2000. I am dumbfounded by this move. Hopefully, the early testing of this feature in 7 will bring back slipstreaming?

    Cheers!
