Windows 8 to be released by 2012

Hope Steve Ballmer or Bill gates doesn’t have any belief on the Mayan Prophecy. When companies plan to upgrade their system to Windows 7 after the release of its first service pack that would be released anytime next year. Microsoft has started to work on Windows 8 already and have set the target date as 2012.

Windows 9

The companies would soon get fed up on these upgrades which they are forced to make every couple of years. This would become their routine. Why doesn’t Microsoft work on just service packs and patches to improve their Operating Systems instead going on for a total change over every couple of years? Because service packs doesn’t make any money for them.

Soon, the world will turn towards the Open Source software solutions which has become equally competing.
