    An Official Microsoft roadmap shows that Windows 8 is due to launch in 2012.

    The roadmap was spotted by the website Microsoft Kitchen at last week's Professional Developers Conference in LA. Although Microsoft said next to nothing about Windows 8 in public, the roadmap was delivered to the company's partners.

    The timescale is similar to the gap between Windows Vista (which officially launched in January 2007) and Windows 7 (which shipped in October), although the early success of Windows 7 suggests there's no need for Microsoft to rush out another client OS.

    Microsoft has said very little about its plans for Windows 8 to date, although clues have started to emerge about the next-gen operating system. The LinkedIn profile of a Microsoft researcher revealed that the company is working on making the Windows 8 kernel 128-bit compatible, upping the ante from the 32- and 64-bit Windows 7. The researcher's profile said the company was working with processor partners such as Intel, AMD, HP and IBM on the transition.

    On a recent visit to London, Microsoft boss Steve Ballmer also reaffirmed the company's commitment to heavyweight client OSes, dismissing rumours that future versions of Windows would become more modular.

    That puts clear blue water between Microsoft and Google, which last week unveiled full details of its Chrome OS, a lightweight operating system primarily aimed at the netbook market.

    Microsoft company promised that they will not lunch Windows 8, 2-3 years after Windows 7 was released. Windows 7 made up for fix the problems in Windows Vista that's why. windows xp + vista = windows 7
    by the way, I have windows me, 98, and original xp sata.... install CD :)

    Vista will always be crappy. 8 should be a big improvement over 7 or I will pass.

    Been using Vista for 2 years now.. never a problem. Do you have any real reasons as to why it's crappy or are you just going along with what everyone else says?

    vista isn't bad, but u must have RAM over 4GB (get 64bits), hard disk space more than 300GB... graphic card(idc) because most of the programs required more space on vista.

    Microsoft is a sad company...when they were making Windows 7, they were already starting on Windows 8.

    Well... considering the trend they have for one crappy OS then one good OS I'm assuming it will be bad.

    Yeah, I agree with Catica. XP was pretty good, everything else was just too flashy and over the top.

    Well its basically either

    Microsoft or Apple....choose one =p.

    I honestly hate apple...cannot stand ipods. its just a fad to me...they break soooo easily..

    1 drop on the floor=done for me. Sis dropped her ipod in pool. didnt work

    I have dropped my mp3 in water 2 times, dropped it on the floor many many many times...and it gets overheated a lot.....still works fine XD? well that is a Sony product so w/e...Only thing that i know from microsoft that really tweaks out is the 360 and their red ring of death...
