You have got this wrong. If anything it will be in three years time which is 2012 like it has been reported on Neowin.

More monies probably.

All they would do is exactly what they've done with Windows 7 - tuned up Vista a bit lol. :D

well I wouldn't say tuned up, i'd say fixed all the crap stuff on vista.

My vista laptop used to take like 4 minutes to shut down, this beast shuts down in 30 seconds xo

They still wouldn't bring out "Windows 8" next year. We have Windows 7 for a reason, you may say they have tuned it up a bit. But its much better then Vista itself was. (Performance, GUI and feature wise)

Wikipedia is hardly a good source.
I mean its good sometimes but I wouldnt say its the most reliable source out there.

But yh I thought it was 2012 too.

Why would we want to risk another Vista situation when Windows 7 is awesome atm:P

I read it was actually 2012, which is slightly more realistic

They bring new OSes out ever 3-5 years.

MS probably started working on Windows 8 around when Vista was released ;)

As long as it's not beta software being developed on beta software (again) then it might not be too shabby. But for the time being I am downloading Chrome OS, not Windows 8:D

Chrome OS is crappy at the moment.

Lol I haven't used it yet. The 1GB memory stick version's download got removed, so now I am without a download link:(

If Windows 8 release was planned for next year then no one would buy windows 7 now

If it was out next year then it would have a rough release day around now anyway

And a beta and RC would have been released to reviewers at least.
