Windows 8 release date announced
Shy and retiring Microsoft CEO, Steve "there's a kind of hush" Ballmer has softly whispered to a gaggle of Japanese developers that Windows 8 will be out in time for 2012.
He whispered a time frame which indicated that the new OS would be in the shops in time for the end of the Mayan calender and will be the operating system of choice when the world ends. It is the first time that Vole has given a time frame for the operating system and the first time that he has mentioned the OS by name.
According to ZDnet, Ballmer said that Windows 7 PCs will sell over 350 million units this year and in Windows 8 there was a lot more coming. He said that over the rest of the Year, Mcrosoft is going to do a lot of talking about Windows 8 and where it will go.
