nsane.forums Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 It isn't a secret that Microsoft is working on the successor to Windows 7, but the progress so far has remained a secret. Windows 8, the codename for the next major operating system from Microsoft, may have already passed Milestone 2 progress. According to a Russian website winreview.ru, via win8beta.com, Microsoft compiled the build "Windows 8 Milestone 2: 6.2.79xx.0.winmain_win8m2.xxxxxx-xxxx" recently. News of this build comes just days before CES 2011, meaning Microsoft might have a sneak preview for a select few, but the chances are very unlikely. The emerging details mean that Microsoft is already working on Milestone 3, which is expected to be completed by the end of February 2011. Not too many details have leaked out about Windows 8, but its new UI might be called "Wind," where Microsoft plans to create a 3D desktop. Other details suggest that Microsoft might be integrating Windows 8 to the cloud, selling the operating system as more of a service, making deploying and updating a simple task.

Naota Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 That is pretty quick... well it better be well made.I just hope that the cloud-related technology doesn't take up too much of their focus on everything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator DKT27 Posted January 5, 2011 Administrator Share Posted January 5, 2011 I just hope that the cloud-related technology doesn't take up too much of their focus on everything else.That's pretty much the case if you ask me. M$ is feeling that Google is going to loot all it's customers (both public and businesses) with it's cloud OS. So it's pushing really hard to release it ASAP. I have a gut feeling that the things planned for Window 8 will be moved to Windows 9 with Windows 8 being only Windows 7 + Cloud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
