Windows 8 starts to come into focus

Here we go its at the planning stage

I get questions periodically about whether Windows 7 marks the end of the Microsoft operating system road.

Some users wonder whether will Microsoftâ??s next version of Windows be completely cloud-based? Will it be Midori with the Windows name slapped on it?

No and no. The bottom line: Windows isnâ??t done when Windows 7 is released to manufacturing (most likely in late fall 2009). Windows 8 has been on the drawing board/planning stages for a while now. And as the â??Codename Windowsâ? blog recently reported, Microsoft is starting to hire developers specifically for Windows 8.

When will the first alpha code be available for testing?

 

[septprince]

its really opened, windows 8 forums............

 

[Tews]

Are there any mockups of W8 yet?

 

[bhuulo]

Alpha Not until mid 2010

 

[bhuulo]

you never know

Just a sort of Guess because 7 RTM will be on Oct 22 so after that 3 months atleast...

 

[DarkNovaGamer]

I doubt it would take them till 2010. For all we know there ARE alpha builds that haven't been leaked. When we get the leaked/official beta builds then we'll know.

I am awake again. Surprised I didn't sleep my normal 12 hours lol

just wild guess begins...

Wild guess? Like I said on another thread, we do not know if they even have begun to work on W8 (whatever its codename may end up being). I wouldn't be so hasty to assume they haven't begun development either.

Last time I read anything in depth about this 'Windows Midori' it said it would be a linux based OS. That made me stop reading it right there, I mean don't get me wrong linux is a decent OS for most but I like my Windows.

Plus no one really knows what it will be for sure. Especially until a leak is... well leaked! lol
