Why I Think Windows 8 Will RTM Before July 2012

August 18, 2011 // 3 Comments

You’ll soon see that this is not based on any inside information … so make of it what you want. We all know that Mary-Jo Foley reported a little while ago that Windows 8 could RTM as soon as April 2012.  I have 2 reasons to think that she might not be far off. The first is a little bit more [...]

August 15, 2011 // 0 Comments

It is 28 days (and a bit) until the sold out Build Windows conference.  I was looking forward to it.  And then today, I skimmed through the latest vTax blog post by Jeff Woolsey (Principal Group Program Manager, Windows Server Virtualization), and at the end he said this: “At [...]

WPC11 Hyper-V Announcements and Some Brainfarts

July 13, 2011 // 3 Comments

WPC is Microsoft’s conference for partners.  The delegates tend to be executives or account managers from the Microsoft partner community, and the content is not the usual technical level one should expect from an MMS or TechEd. Yesterday Microsoft announced some Hyper-V features from [...]

Microsoft’s First Official View of Windows 8

June 2, 2011 // 0 Comments

I guess they had to do it because of the amount of leaks; Microsoft published a video showing us the new (codename) “Metro” UI for Windows 8.  This will be the primary way to use Windows 8 on touch enabled devices, such as the ARM enabled tablet PC.  I have to say, based on this (and [...]

No Windows 8 Until 2012

October 25, 2010 // 0 Comments

It’s been widely reported this afternoon that news of a Windows 8 release schedule appeared very briefly on a Dutch MS website (before being pulled).  I have a nagging feeling that something similar happened there with Windows 7 sometime back … Anyway, the story was that we wouldn’t see [...]
