Microsoft Finally Hammers Down Windows 8 Release Date [Windows]

Windows 8 , you are saying?! Yes! Someone’s talking about it, so when is it? About two years from now appears to be like the ” official” word from the Netherlands, although you’d be somewhat foolish to expect anything more concrete than that from Redmond.

In fact, the dubious timeline concession arrives because of a Dutch blog post, which quotes a Microsoft Dutch subsidiary as saying the greatly amorphous, unconfirmed OS is under development but not due out for one more two years in any case.

Publicly, CNET notes that Microsoft execs were incredibly hesitant to nail down their company’s future Windows plans-desktop, server or otherwise.

Whatever the overall result ends up being, one would think there’d be some style of response inbuilt that addresses lots of Apple’s ballyhooed new features from the past few years, including an app store , tablet and touch support and improvements, mobile, and the brand new merging of iOS and OS X detailed inside the Lion keynote.
