NetworksMicrosoft Already Starting on Windows 8.
There"s no doubt that many enthusiasts are waiting to see what the final version of Microsoft"s Windows 7 operating system will look like when shipped.
How will Windows 7 perform? Will it be faster and more stable than Vista? Will it address all of Vista"s shortcomings? Of course, we all know that Windows 7 is an evolution on Vista. Despite lingering doubts, those who have tried the public beta of Windows 7 already claim that it"s one of Microsoft"s best operating systems yet.
That"s a great thing to hear because Microsoft is actually already starting to work on Windows 8.
According to a job posting on Microsoft"s site, the company is starting to put its engineering team together for designing the successor to Windows 7. The job posting details of a storage related position with focus in the enterprise:
