Since Windows 7 has been released to public, Microsoft has started working on the next Windows version which is codenamed as "Windows 8" at the moment.

"Stephen Chapman" @ Microsoft Kitchen posted a Windows roadmap which clearly shows that Windows 8 is scheduled to release in 2012. Microsoft has also mentioned in past that it'll try to keep a fixed 3 years gap between future Windows releases and it seems that they are really working hard to maintain this gap.

Just wait and watch this place for upcoming Windows 8 news and updates and also share your wishlists for Windows 8.

  • typos,

    "i don't understand why all they ask 4 GB of RAM to run smoothly, when an average user only wants to surf internet, play movies, music and type documents."

  • @MMG
    They don't
    I can run Windows 7 on 512mb ram, a crappy Gfx card from 2002, and an ok processor just fine
    besides a few speed issues (which isn't unusual)

  • @hitesh, i dont think so...

    windows xp sp3, yes it's very efficient and compatible to most computers

    but today's new modern technologies are more reliable.

    windows 7 i agree is far better than windows xp even updated with sp3.

    windows 7 is more secured, respondent and fast.

    i have tried windows 7 on a 20GB partition and its performance are still better

    than my xp sp3 on the other 30GB partition.

    i think, its based on computer performance. ^^

    but its more better imo. ^^
