    Windows 8: Microsoft Shifting Focus To Next OS...


    Windows 8: Microsoft Shifting Focus To Next OS In July 2010

    Various job listings posted online this November have hinted at when Microsoft plans to shift its focus to Windows 8.

    Most early adopters of Microsoft's latest offering, Windows 7, are still getting settled into the month-old OS, and discovering what the highly favored current version of Windows can do. However, it seems the guys up in Redmond aren't just hanging around, as this past month alone Microsoft has posted seven job openings in the hopes of finding folks to work on Windows 8.

    They probably won't do that. I'm expecting Windows 8 to come around late-2011. 2012 AT THE LATEST. Otherwise some of the members here will
