Leaked Slides: Windows 8 coming in 2012?
InternetNews | at | by Mike
Even though Microsoft just shipped Windows 7 a month ago, company officials have apparently already started providing a roadmap to some partners that shows the next major release coming in 2012 or thereabouts.
The story evidently emerged from private presentations during last week's Microsoft Professional Developers Conference in Los Angeles, according to a post on the Microsoft Kitchen blog by host Stephen Chapman.
What proof there is comes from a pair of slides posted on Microsoft Kitchen that purport to show the roadmaps for a project codenamed "Windows 8" and for Windows Server -- both billed as "major releases."
