When will Microsoft bring
Windows 8 to market? 2012's looking like a safe bet -- not only was it slated for that date in an allegedly
leaked product roadmap, but Microsoft Netherlands hints that the OS is just two years away. Buried at the bottom of a press release celebrating the first birthday of Windows 7, you'll find the above Dutch phrase, which Google Translate returns as "Furthermore, Microsoft is of course the next version of Windows. But it will take about two years before "Windows 8" on the market." There are certainly plenty of reasons why Microsoft's
riskiest product bet might not hit its target date, but the machine translation seems clear. Here's hoping the OS will ship with some
suitably futuristic hardware.
