Windows 8 coming in 2012, says Ballmer...


Microsoft boss Steve Ballmer has confirmed that the company's next-generation systems will be out in 2012 and, in doing so, referred to the software as "Windows 8" for the first time.

Speaking at developers' conference in Tokyo, Japan on Monday, Ballmer confirmed that the successor to the successful Windows 7 platform will arrive next year for PCs, tablets and slates.

So far Microsoft has been careful not to refer to the forthcoming operating system as Windows 8 in any official capacity, but word from the big boss man leaves us in no doubt as to what it will be called. More...

Don't miss:
  1. Windows 7 users "very satisfied" but consumers still love XP...
  2. Microsoft buying Nokia???
  3. What your computer knows about you can be dangerous...
  4. What does Microsoft know about you?
