Windows 8 possible July 2011 release?2010-01-29 09:22 by DanielaTags: Microsoft, Windows 8
An ex-Microsoft employee has let the cat out of the bag about when the software giant might release Windows 8. MSFTKitchen reports that in early December last year, Chris Green wrote a post on his MSDN blog, which appeared to reveal that Microsoft might-possibly-maybe release the next iteration of its operating system in July 2011, perhaps. Meanwhile, he also suggested that Windows Server 2012 (presumably based on the same Windows 8 tech) and Office 2012 would be shipped in July 2012. Of course, the MS developer - who has since moved on from Redmond - was one lonely voice in the Microsoft machine. So the dates should be taken with a very large dose of white flaky sea salt crystals. Importantly, he did slap big fat question marks at the end of each suggested new release. If the estimated roadmap is correct, however, then Microsoft may be attempting to speed up the frequency of its OS updates. That's a suggestion that many Windows customers might balk at, given Redmond’s tendency to miss its self-imposed deadlines. Read more -here-
