| 1165939 | 2010-12-31 06:20:00 | Just read in Australia PC Authority that Microsoft's Dutch site accidently let slip that Windows 8 would be released toward the end of 2012. See this site; news.cnet.com |

| 1165940 | 2010-12-31 06:25:00 | They shouldn't bother with Windows 8. They need to focus on Windows 7 like they did with XP and improve 7 and update it etc.... |

| 1165941 | 2010-12-31 06:31:00 | They should just stop the crap and call it whatever year it happens to be produced in the factory, they could even put on the box which quarter it is and what updates it contains so you know how up to date your copy of Winblows is when you buy it. So if you buy your comp in December 2010 it should come with Windows 2010 4th quarter release. |

| 1165947 | 2010-12-31 07:30:00 | I hope Windows 7 gets at least 2 service packs before it dies off in favor of windows 8. | goodiesguy (15316) | ||
| 1165948 | 2010-12-31 07:31:00 | That's a bit soon - Windows 7 hasn't even got a service pack yet :horrified It'll be there. Expect BSOD. :D RC is out, give it a month or three and you'll get the service pack. |
