Title: Microsoft Windows 8
Post by: TijLaugHmoob on August 17, 2011, 11:55:58 AM

(http://zapp5.staticworld.net/news/graphics/213694-10.-windows-8-public-beta_listing.jpg)Microsoft Opens Up About Windows 8
If you're dying for more Windows 8 news then you'll want to bookmark Microsoft's brand new blog, Building Windows 8 where the software giant plans to start dishing on the next iteration of its OS. Microsoft says it will use the new blog to talk about forthcoming features, user interface decisions, engineering and other Windows 8-related news. "We know developers, IT pros, and gamers all want to know what's new [in Windows 8] for them," wrote Steven Sinofsky, president of Microsoft's Windows and Windows Live division. "There is so much packed into Windows 8...so we want to be sure to take the time to cover as many of these topics as possible."

Microsoft did something similar during the development of Windows 7 with a blog called Engineering Windows 7.

hahaha I know right...

OS's are getting outdated so fast and not supported so fast sometime I think it's just pointless upgrading. I think we're still running windows xp.  Yikes!  Oh wells.

This is a platform heading and merging mobile devices & PCs.  One universal OS.  However it remains to see if such an OS will have the tools or software needed to run Corporate.  Likely this is a platform driven for the consumer media.  Not business yet.
