Win 8 hits retail in January 2013, Win 7 SP2 in 2012 and other info leaks out

[asianman6924]

Infamous leaker Wzor.net has just posted up a slathering of information, and judging by the site's past leaks, it should be semi-reliable. Before we go any further, none of this information is verified or is confirmed but is speculation from a reputable individual who, in the past, has provided solid information and leaks. On that note, lets dig into the information posted.

For Windows 7, Wzor states, "Service Pack 2 is already actively underway since the autumn of 2010, and if all goes according to plan then the appearance of a second service pack, Service Pack 2 for Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2 is expected in mid-2012 " and looking forward to Windows 8, Wzor states, " Windows 8 is scheduled for the very end of 2012, so it really can be called: Microsoft Windows 2012 Apocalypse Edition, at least the server version will be named as Windows Server 2012."

Further, for more recent information, the site states that Microsoft is planning two betas for Windows 8 and states that at least one, if not both versions, will be for public consumption and three months after the RC is released, Windows 8 will go RTM. Specific dates were not mentioned.

By far the biggest bombshell is that "according to our information, Microsoft will plan to begin selling boxed retail versions of Microsoft Windows on Monday January 7, 2013!".

Again all this information comes from a reputable leaker but as with any information, its subject to verification. Hopefully the information is on track but as for Windows 8 leaks, Wzor states, " Possible leaks in the network of test assemblies may be expected only close to the appearance of the first beta version of Windows 8 Beta 1"

Now that the cat is out of the bag, you can be sure Microsoft will do everything it can to change your posted dates to other dates.

I would like to see the other minor operating systems step up to the plate and hit a grand slam, and rise to the level Microsoft is. Competion is always good in reaching new levels.

Maybe the other minor operating system companies should get a hold of the facebook president, the one youngest multi-billion worth person in the world, (160 billion) and get his handbook on how to reach and get to the top.:doh:

Maybe the social networking president and his staff should take up a hobby of building a software program call "The Cinavia Removal Tool" and a secondary hobby of buying out the MPAA.

These 3 guys are your best bet, not the guy from Facebook, and these guys have a few bucks themselves.

Google is making an OS TNotebook PC.

I can't wait to see what is done on Win 8 though.

The Chrome operating system is a work in progress. We’re looking for the right users to try it out and tell us how we can make it better.

Each participant in the Pilot program will receive a Cr-48 Chrome notebook; in return, we'll expect you to use it regularly and send us detailed feedback.

Sound interesting? Please note:

Chrome OS is for people who live on the web.
It runs web-based applications, not legacy PC software.

The Pilot program is not for the faint of heart.
Things might not always work just right.

The Pilot program is open to individuals, businesses, schools, non-profits and developers based in the United States. Learn about Chrome notebooks for business

Applicants must be at least 18 years of age. We'll review the requests that come in and contact you if you've been selected.
