Windows 8 to come probably in late 2012


Windows 8 seems to be all good between operating systems. But when we can put our hands on this little beauty, which now has a new home screen specifically for touchscreen devices? Microsoft has not said anything about the launch schedule of the OS, but at least one of its executives gave to the whistle.


Dan'l Lewin, nothing more than corporate vice president of the company, preached at an event that happened at the headquarters of MS. Talking about Windows 8, he said we might as well say that what happened in the past is a "reasonable indication" of what will happen in the future. In this case, the schedule is usually as follows: MS announces the system during a conference for developers, then put in tests and 12 months after initiation of beta, launches the product.

Taking these data into account, we might expect Windows 8 for the second half of 2012. During the spring in the Southern Hemisphere, which runs from September to December.

Windows 7 was launched in October 2009, some 35 months after its predecessor, the unloved Windows Vista hit the shelves of stores. If Microsoft were to follow the same scheme, Windows would have 8 scheduled for release in September next year. And Windows 9 (!) In August 2015.
