Windows 8: 'Completely Different', 'Mind-blowing'

jmke · 12th February 2010, 11:21

With Microsoft targeting a Windows 8 RTM date of around July 2011, work should be well underway. While we've already caught glimpses of work on top of Windows 7 in a recent 7700 build, we don't much about what will be different.

Windows 7 fixed a lot of the issues and discontent surrounding Windows Vista, so where will Microsoft go from here? A now-removed blog post from MSDN (but salvaged from Google Cache by MSFTKitchen) hinted that there will be great things to expect from an OS that'll show itself just two years following Windows 7

Already creating a buzz around something that doesn't exist yet and then removing it like it's a secret ... nice move from M$, again.
