Windows 8 under development

**Ian** · Ian's Computer Specs

It looks like Microsoft are accepting job applicants for development of Windows 8 already. Although the core of Windows 8 has probably been underway for some time, it's always interesting to see any hints of public mention:

Quote:

"For the upcoming version of Windows, new critical features are being worked on including cluster support and support for one way replication. The core engine is also being reworked to provide dramatic performance improvements. We will also soon be starting major improvements for Windows 8 where we will be including innovative features which will revolutionize file access in branch offices."

If you've got what it takes to be the "Lead software development engineering in Test," apply right here. Or you can sit back and wait to see how Windows 8 will develop.

Is there a release date pencilled in for Windows 8, or is this a long time in the future?

I do congratulate them on an original name though, they must have saved some money in a recession coming up with a name like that.

Oh, yeah. Definitely! I definitely couldn't have come up with such a clever name as, "Windows 7"!! Let alone call the next Operating System, "Windows 8"! Dang!

Lol.

Quite some time away I expect

Don't forget, Windows 7 is still months away from being released

I agree about the docking idea - That would be cool

Correct me if Im wrong but are you saying you cant hide the superbar
Auto hiding taskbar is old news
