Why is the next Microsoft operating system expected to be called Windows 8?
Microsoft has changed its approach to naming operating systems (e.g XP, Vista) and is using
an internal numbering system and the next Windows operating system, Windows 7, is the 7th
release. Hence the replacement for Windows 7 is expected to be called Windows 8.
When will Windows 8 be released?
Microsoft normally release a new OS every 3 years, so Windows 8 should be launched in
20011/12, approximately 3 years after Windows 7.

for testing purposes?
