You got that right, Windows 8 is already being worked on

Wiki reference

Windows 8 closed beta

I believe it can only get better, they got Windows 7 done right judging from internet sources so there's no reason to doubt on Windows 8. (Will possibly support DirectX 12 for ultra realistic graphics putting a new meaning to nextgen games)

Anyway I haven't got my copy of Windows 7 yet but I will, very soon.

Discuss.

Windows 7 is simply what Vista was meant to be before it got rushed out the door about as fully-formed as a 5 month fetus

They better be working on 8 lol

Right the site may not show much since I presume it was only started. (or did they started working on this earlier?)

but all in all they will reveal more info soon.

Yes Windows can only get better. It could only get better from 98? Right?

I'll believe it when it comes from a reputable source other than a Wiki and some random website. Don't say windows8.com or w/e isn't random, because the real website would be microsoft.com.

Honestly I googled and found alot more links, I picked the wiki and this link from the millions which are probably leaked info from Microsoft themselfs and the media take it, so I guess they are working on it, there are many more links if you google "windows 8" btw.

It's obvious that they're working on it - they aren't employed to do nothing.

Microsoft lost so much money on vista that they're just going to do an XP and release 2173 service packs for windows seven then everyone will love them again then they will releas windows 8 and it will be another huge fuck up , the cycle continues...

My dad works for Microsoft, he says they've been working on it since they finished 2/3rds of Windows 7.

can they please think of an original name?

or maybe even better, build a new operating system on the linux/unix kernel that runs windows applications natively (no viruses)

It's gonna be a while until it's ready for even closed beta-testing. Just to confirm, Windows 8 is a codename, it most likely will be called something a bit more original when launched. They aren't really focusing on the new features yet, but maybe next year we'll hear what changes there'll be.
