Bangalore: Microsoft should once again release its next mainstream version of Windows about three years after the last, a roadmap obtained this week reveals. The schedule has the major revision, tentatively titled "Windows 8," launching in 2012 or about three years after Windows 7, reports Electronista.
It will purportedly keep in step with a rhythm developed by Microsoft that has the software giant launching major releases four years apart, as Windows Server 2008 is considered a major release, but its R2 upgrade and even Windows 7 are both treated as "release updates."
The schedule suggests Microsoft doesn't expect a radical delay in its operating system releases and that it intends to resume a regular schedule for releases. Windows Vista's three-year delay from its original 2004 target stemmed from a decision to largely scrap existing work after security and modernization concerns prompted Microsoft to base Vista on Windows Server 2003's code.
Microsoft's competitor Apple by contrast operates on a flexible schedule dictated by the scale of the releases themselves, such as the nearly two years between Leopard and Snow Leopard.

It's great to have Windows 8, but this news should not be spreading this early. Windows 7 has just started its beginning.
