At Microsoft Developer Forum held in Tokyo, Steve Ballmer, CEO of Microsoft confirmed that Windows 8 will be out next year.
We’re obviously hard at work on the next version of Windows. Windows 7 PCs will sell over 350 million units this year. We’ve done a lot in Windows 7 to improve customer satisfaction. We have a brand new user interface. We’ve added touch, and ink, and speech. And yet, as we look forward to the next generation of Windows systems, which will come out next year, there’s a whole lot more coming. As we progress through the year, you ought to expect to hear a lot about Windows 8. Windows 8 slates, tablets, PCs, a variety of different form factors.
However, he haven’t mentioned the exact release date of Windows 8. This really seems to be exciting news. So what’s your opinion, are you going to get this new Windows 8 ?
