Windows 8

Actually, Windows 8 is still in development, however information on its development has been submitted by the public, including the development of functionality to access the files in the office applications.

Windows 8 provides plenty of new features along with a new interface. With a view similar to Windows Vista and Windows 7 (very good combination) but has changes in the GUI (Graphical User Interface) that quite a lot, including new design taskbar, Explorer, system boot screen and login screen, and etc.

According to one Microsoft employee - Robert Murdon profile on LinkedIn, he inadvertently led to information that he is now working on IA-128 on Windows 8, mentioned that he was trying to enable Windows 8 may be compatible with 128-bit, although he still seemed frustrated .

Murdon seemed confident will be compatible 128-bit on Windows 9, but it seems to Windows 8 there is no certainty. Meanwhile, many who believe that Windows 7 will be the last Microsoft product that uses 32-bit OS. So it may be Windows 8 will appear in 64-bit and 128-bit, we'll wait.

And according to reports from MSFTKitchen December last year, seems to mention that Microsoft will release a new operating system in the month of July 2011. Meanwhile, Microsoft also will release Windows Server 2012 and Office 2012 to be published in July 2012.
