I really doubt any of this is valid information, there were so many rumors floating around the net at the beginning of development for windows 7. Seems as if Microsoft is just using windows as a new money making scheme releasing a new os, every year or so.

Windows isn't "Crap" ... They just release
1. Too often
2. Too soon

but their doing this just for money,
Windows Vista was crap, it just was
Windows 7 is good, wish it was faster, 96% of us dont give a poop about aero, if it makes out computer 20x Slower
Windows 8, will follow the pattern, it'll be good, but not the next big thing..
OSX is taking off, (finnally) because apple is full of Jews (not to be racist, but its ironic)

You can't

Roumers have it, Windows 8 will be the first "Internet Activation OS" (You can't use it till you activate it over the net) This one isn't added onto the OS like a piggy back, step one, Activation,
Though my personal view i that someone is gonna hack it, and presto, there goes another one...

Sounds about the right timeframe, so i'd say even if it isnt a legit advert its about the right date. windows 7 they finally realised what people want from an OS (limited impact) if they can keep that up for windows 8 i'll be happy enough to purchase it.

Ah man. In roughly 2 years, Microsoft will release their next OS... Just got Win 7 on a laptop that I bought. I'm not impressed with the hardware requirements, I hope they work on that in the future and as Sifex wrote, 96% (perhaps not the real number, but leave it there) don't really give a poop about Aero.

I think I'm sticking to my lovely Linux distro's for a while.

Yeah that's what I said but Windows 98 was actually pretty good compared to 95 but the order starts from Windows 2000

That pattern has a really obvious driving principle behind it. It's not just "every other release sucks."

That can be seen by realizing that vista and 7 are basically the same OS. What happened is that they fixed the poop in vista people hated, released it FREE TO USE for a year, and let people test 7, giving people a full year to port drivers, software to it, and get used to it. During that period, they did shitloads of bugfixes, they took advice and what people liked and disliked into consideration for the RTM. THATS what turned vista into 7.

If they don't release a half-baked operating system in windows 8, they'll be fine. If it's going to come out in 2012, it's most likely not going to be good. It'll need to be at least 2014. There are some areas they really need to work on, and one of those is completely revamping explorer.exe. It's better in 7 than in XP but its still poop. There are plenty of things to improve, and if they improved them all and added further optimizations and improvements to the kernel, it could be awesome.

One thing I'd really like to see added are the equivalent of 'tmpfs' mounts in linux. Basically you take a chunk of your memory and the system treats it like a local directory, files written to and read from it are actually stored in memory.
