Microsoft blog says Windows8 released two years later

Beijing time October 25 morning news, according to foreign media reports, Microsoft's Netherlands branch in Sunday in a memorial to the first year of Windows 7 blog article, said the new operating system Windows 8 will be listed in about two years. October 22, Windows 7 ushered in the first birthday. Microsoft wrote on its U.S. website to mark the milestone, but did not mention Windows 8 's time to market.　　Microsoft's representative declined to comment in Sunday. In fact, executives such as Steven Sinnowski (Steven Sinofsky), Microsoft's Windows director, have been tight-lipped about the company's future windows plans.　　But the Microsoft server Department said last year that it will release the heavyweight Windows Server products in 2012, and that the product's release is often slightly behind the desktop operating system. A leaked document in June showed that the next version of Windows would include an app store, similar to Apple and other mobile device vendors.　　Apple announced this week that it would open an app store for Mac computers within 90 days. The paper also notes that Microsoft wants to speed up start-up and hibernation recovery times, improve energy efficiency and work more closely with computer manufacturers to enhance product differentiation.　　While these improvements are necessary, the two years before Windows 8 will be tough if Microsoft is not better able to cope with Apple's moves on tablets and notebooks. When Windows 7 was released in October 2009, 2.5 of the time elapsed since the massive release of Windows Vista.　　Microsoft officials, including CEO Ballmer Steve Ballmer, have promised that the new version of the operating system will not allow users to wait so long. If Windows 8 is released two years from now, it will be up to three years from the publication interval of Windows 7. Ballmer said this week that the next version of Windows is Microsoft's "most risky gamble". (Yan Fei)
