What? Color me confused, but aren’t we waiting on pins and needles for Windows 7? So what on earth is this talk about Windows 8? I mean, huh? And oddly enough, this doesn’t even seem to be a rumor.
A post that was just placed on the Microsoft careers website seems to point to the truth. A new position, called Lead Software Development Engineer is Test is up for the filling, whose requirements include working on Windows 7 projects like the core engine and such.
However, here’s the kicker: the job listing notes, “We will also soon be starting major improvements for Windows 8.” And while we are likely to see Windows 7 coming pre-installed on PCs by September, we can’t even begin to fathom what 8 is all about.

Ha! No wonder Windows feels like an unfinished product. They should permanently put a Beta on the version a la Google.
Neutral- “How are we doing on W7?”
- “It’s 20% so far.”
- “Good! Release it and start working on W8. Then, when complains start piling, make 2 service packs correcting the top 100 issues and move on. Better make that 50 issues each.”

I’m not expecting anything from Microsoft Windows Development since nearly all windows operating system they have developed have failed. Windows Millenium = total failure, Windows XP = failed but revived because of Vista, Windows Vista = literally no point of having it………and getting out Windows 7 and 8 in consecutive years is not the brightest move, even at this stage….I mean people are still having trouble with economy so majority of people will definitely lose interest and just go back to XP again.
