Microsoft roadmap shows Windows 8 for 2012

Posted in Microsoft by Shane McGlaun on November 23rd, 2009

windows8-roadmap-sgMicrosoft makes most of its money form Windows and Office. These are two of its most important products and the Windows OS is normally on four-year release schedule. Microsoft blew that with the often delayed Vista OS and Windows 7 has just now hit the market.

A leaked slide from a roadmap shows that Microsoft plans to offer Windows 8 in 2012. The slide shows Windows 8 is a major release and Windows 7 was a release update.

I wonder what the difference between the two is in Microsoft’s terms. I guess Windows 8 will break away from what Windows 7 is doing rather than being similar and just tweaking a few things. We have several years before we find out for sure.

    This is obviously faked. Look a little closer at the font sizes and you can see that the “Windows 7″ and “Codename: Windows 8″ have been added, and the blue line coming down from 2009 has been extended. Not to mention the fact that this is obviously a slide showing the Cadence of WINDOWS SERVER.

    Happy Photoshopping!
